------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chinatown - Thin Lizzy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Matt Allison Tuning: Standard This song sounds best when played through a valve amp, using a guitar with a humbucker set on the bridge pickup. e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------0----0------------2--------------------------------| A|---------------0h2----------------0h2-------------------------------------| E|----0----0----------------------------------------------------------------| This is the main riff throughout the song. Just play an E shape and lift it on and off. i'm not certain about the run but I think it's in Em and it goes something like this e|--15p12------12-----------------------------------------------------------| B|--------15-------15p12----------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------14p12----12---------------------------------------| D|------------------------------14----14---12--14--12-------12--------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------14-------14----------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------15---12-| and then e|--15p12-------12----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------15-------15--12-------15b17--15b17(15)-12-----------------------| G|----------------------------12-----------------------14--12-----------12--| D|--------------------------------------------------------------14--14------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| E e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--2----2-------------------------0----------------------------------------| A|--2--------------0-2--0-2-3-2-3-------------------------------------------| E|--0------0--2-3-----------------------------------------------------------| this is the build up to the main riff. It may take a bit of practice.

Then the run from the is played. I think the solos are improvised using an Em scale. This is my first tab so i hope it isnt too bad. | b bend | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
