Sister Morphine tab by The Rolling Stones
Guitar Tab
I CRDed the whole song because the chords change from verse to verse. There are of course other little twiddly bits than the 2 fills I've tabbed, but I'm sure you'll get the picture.. I'm not even going to attempt to tab Ry Cooder's slide guitar for this- are there any tab conventions for slide?
