Rock This Town

Stray Cats

Text File

This was how I learned this song, so if I made any mistakes that you notice, contact me
mccay46@comcast.net.  Make the subject, "To Mat about Rock This Town Tab."

For anyone who knows about tempo, Fast a quarter note = 198
only worry about this if you want to play it with a metronome.

This is the Intro and you are supposed to play it twice.

I hope you enjoyed using my tab, and I was glad to share it.  Rate it if you want, send
or errors to mccay46@comcast.net.  Again make the subject, "To Mat about Rock This Town
 If it sounds strange at first, it might just be how in tune you are.  I know that one 
the earlier parts sounds kind of weird.

P.S.- Please don't rip off this tab.  Its my first one and it took me more than two 
to make.

Thanks
