Just in case you don't know what I'm talking about.....

For example a "B" is on the 7th fret, so add 6 to all numbers giving -

-------7-- (Low E, 6th string)
--9----7--
--9----7--
----8--7--
-------7--

 See the pattern? :-)

F=1st fret, F#=2nd fret, G=3rd, A=5th B=7th C=8th



This type of bar chord is used in nearly all of their songs!

Great song this. I also have worked out the tab for the intro. If anyone wants
this, send personal email to the address below....

Main : F A#  Ab (A flat)

Chorus: A# C#   A#   Ab  A#  Ab  A#
         1 strum 2str 1str 2str 1str

Note: Str is short for strum

Shitlist

Another good song once you have mastered the riff  :)

---------------------------------------]
--111-444-33--6--4-3-4---1-------------]
--111-444-33--6--4-3-4---1-------------] And keep repeating....!

Make this rhythmic to the music. I have indicated the number of strums by the
number of same notes together.

 The part of 4-3-4 , slide between these chords.
       4-3-4

 The whole riff is easiest (and sounds better) if you slide between most of the
chords.


If anyone wants some of the tabs (that I've worked out!) for the L7
album (that has titles such as Cool out and Snake Handler) please send
personal e-mail (as I don't get time to read the entire newsgroup!).
