Steve Mcqueen chords by Sheryl Crow

Artist: Sheryl Crow
Song Title: Steve McQueen
from the CD "C'mon, C'mon"

submitted by David Jones at 'jdavidm243@aol.com' as entirely my own study and work.

This is my first stab at submitting tabulature, so bear with me.

A great rock and roll song, with a catchy opening lick.

It is played capoed on the third fret, and, for the opening lick anyway, it appears to be drop-D tuning so as to get the catchy sixth string open to second fret slide up effect (see below).  This makes it significantly more difficult to play than if you leave it in regular tuning and don't do the slide up.

This is an approximation of the lick.  I lack the time to get it perfect.  I would love to hear from someone who does get it right.

Opening lick as follows.... (repeated in first few verses)
