Were An American Band

Grand Funk Railroad

Text File

Another classic by Mark Farner and company with the great Mel Schacher on bass. Mel throws a few different fills in here from chorus to chorus but I only transcribed one chorus to be repeated. Tabbed by: BASSteve Tuning: EADG Time signature: 4/4 r = rest (listen for duration) h = hammer on / = slide (low to high) \ = slide (high to low) ()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on {}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure ||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x) *My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration. However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.
