Chicken Strut tab by The Meters

Tabs

Title: Chicken Strut
Artist: Meters

transcribed by Pat Gannon

this is only the beginning/chorus of the song, which didn't take me long to figure out. im working on the solo, and as soon as i figure it out i'll post it. the meters make some great music, it's too bad that not too many people know about em.

rhythm not shown...listen to the track and figure it out.
