Text File
Hey, i am a HUGE fan of grand funk railroad and i wanted to look up the american band
but the version they had wasnt quite right, so i took my spare time, and in a matter of 20
of hard work, got alot of the song right. So here it is.
Here is the intro, i couldnt quite get the notes ecactly, but it sounds pretty good.

( Tight sqeeze huh) but anyway, the hammer and pull offs have to be
and if you hear the song, and play it, youll get the right timing and pick up fast.
k no that you have the intro, you need the main riff
and also, once your done the intro, go right into this

repeat for verse twice, and sometimes imbetween versus and chorus and also make
to go back to the beginning quikly
k heres the chorus, it sounds good and strum downward continuosly x8 or x4, it means
down 8 times, or 4 times, youll get it and dont make the strums fast, just get it along
the song
