The Ghost Of Tom Joad tab by Rage Against The Machine
Guitar Tab
Absolutely Rawkin song. All about a character from an Arthur Miller [steinbeck? - the archivist] book called 'The Grapes of Wrath'. Read it. Read 'Rogue State' by 'William Blum'. Enough BS from for now. Guess your in luck, cause you wont get more acurate than this. Then again let your ears be your guide! I havent actually heard this song in ages so I can't give you how many times to play each riff, but I spent a while tabbing it to the CD ages ago (before I lost my Renegades album, forgive me Lord Morello for I have sinned). This is the riff That ZDLR goes RAWK RAWK and gets it out of time. Stupid idjat. Ah well hes the best Rock Rapper I Know. E]---------------------------------------------------------------- B]---------------------------------------------------------------- G]---------------------------------------------------------------- D]-----------------------------------------------0---------------- A]---5-3-0-3-0------3--0--3--5-------------------0---------------- D]-0------------7--------------------------------0---------------- Main Rifff After that play this (Bridge) Just play the first string(s) open like I notated. Thats how he gets taht percussive sound.
He pulls his prair book No freindly Job or Waiting on the time etc. Verse riff E]---------------------------------------------------------------- B]---------------------------------------------------------------- G]---------------------------------------------------------------- D]------5-------5----0----0--------------------------------------- A]--3-------0----------------------------------------------------- D]---------------------------------------------------------------- Solo Riff - Not Tom Morello's usual anticas, but I think it fits the song quite nicely Just after main riff.
