Guitar Tab

Go Your Own Way
by: Fleetwood Mac
this version from: The Dance
transcribed by: Kevin League (mleague@mindspring.com)

I think this song has been posted before, but I
haven't used any of those tabs.  I figured this out all by myself.
There are 2 guitar parts in this song: Lindsey and a rhythm guitarist(who,
if you look closely is off to the back of the stage).  I'll transcribe both.

Lindsey's chords:
F5:133XXX
C5:X355XX
Bb5:X133XX
Dm:X5776X
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Rhythm guitarists chords:
capo VIII (all chords relative to capo)
A:X02220
Asus2:X02200
E:022100
D:XX0232
Dsus2:XX0230
F#m:244222

L=Lindsey
R=rhythm (During the verse, the rhythm alternates between Asus2 and A
quickly and does likewise w/Dsus2 and D.  I'll call these riffs D* and A*.

Verse 1:
L: F5                                  C5       Bb5
R: A*                                  E        D*
   Lovin' you isn't the ....      How can I ...

L:              F5       F5                                    C5  Bb5
R:              A        A*                                    E   D*
  things that ...If I could, baby I'd ...

L:                                     F5
R:                                     A
   can I when you ...

Chorus:
L: Dm      Bb5         C5                       Dm      Bb5        C5
R: F#m     D           E                        F#m     D          E
   You can go your ...You can call it a....

L:              Dm      Bb5         C5
R:              F#m     D           E
   lonely ....You ...(Go your own way.)

Verse 2:(same pattern as verse 1)
Tell me why everything turned around.
Packing up shacking up is all you wanna do.
If I could, baby, I'd give you my world.
Open up, everything's waiting for you.

e keep bending for 4 measures) For a little while here, Lindsey mixes
B----------------------------- between bending the "e" on the 15th fret
G----------------------------- with hammer ons from 13th to 15th fret on
D----------------------------- the "e" string, then the final riff
A-----------------------------
E-----------------------------

e-------------------|
B-------------------|
G-------------------|
D-0-0-2-3-2-0-------| play this riff 3x, then end on a big C5
A-------------0-1-3-| (rhythm plays chorus chords over this riff and
E-------------------|  ends on an E chord)

That's about it.  Again, you'll need to listen to the cd for timing.
There might be a few notes that I left out, but he goes into some fast
hammer ons that would be VERY tedious to tab out, but I'm sure you'll be
able to figure them out.  Remember, Lindsey plays w/his fingernail and not
a pick, so use yer fingernails to get some of the squeals and harmonics he
gets.  Have fun!
