The Answer tab by Richie Sambora
Guitar Tab
Hi everybody, I haven't tabbed anything in awhile, so I thought I might try to get started again with this one. This version is how I try to play this song while fingerpicking. It is by no means gospel, but I think it sounds pretty good. I think there are actually 2 or more guitars playing, or possibly a 12-string on this one... This is as close as I can get with one person playing. Hope you like it. Richie Sambora - 'The Answer'

Strum the last chord
slowly, and a distorted
B5 chord is played
under it as everything
fades out.
That should be everything. This has taken too
long as is, so I'm not going to include the words,
and I'm also not going to put in the rest of the
chords over the top of the bars. If anyone
else is feeling adventurous enough to do it, go
right ahead. Enjoy this one.
Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are welcome.
