Westbound by Allister
Amazing song.  It was easy to figure out and easy to play but it is a great song
with great lyrics.  Best album I own.  Check �em out www.allisterrock.com.
The very end of the solo is very hard to hear so that may not be totally correct
but I�m pretty sure everything else is

~= let ring
p= pull off

verse 1-  Driving through nights on empty roads, Hoping the clubs promote our
shows, Wasting days with endless naps, Finding ways to fill the gaps 
verse 2-   Reading to save our numbing minds, Meeting friends we�ll leave behind,
Lay on the loft and trace the stars,  Start the day in no ones arms

prechorus 1-  Another word game with the band, Another losing rummy hand,
Another night slept in the van

Another story I can tell

chorus-  I�m forced awake again in time to take the stage, and as my dream world
fades, another takes its place, I look into the crowd and see my self through
stares, Back when I hoped someday I�d be the one up there
