Written by: A. Lanier

CD: "Mirrors"   (1979, Columbia Records)



Notes:



^...bend   (w=whole step)

h...hammer on

p...pulloff

r...release bend

/...slide up

\...slide down

<>..harmonic

x...dead note

~...vibrato

=...hold note





-Tuning: Standard

-strum pattern is shown for Intro & Verses (same for both): d=down, u=up

-chords are written in for only one verse (to avoid tab looking cluttered),

but chords are the same for all verses

-for harmonics, fret the note indicated, then play harmonic an octave (12

frets) up from that note

-I don't know the name of the second to last chord in the Chorus - I 

put the notes (F,B,D) into a chord finder and it came out as 

F flat5 6th (no 3rd), so that's what I'll call it. It's played like this:

    EADGBE

    xxx431

-bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time

-song is in A Major, except for guitar solo section which is in D (solo

is in D Major)
