This is the last song on 5 Man Acoustical Jam, and just shows you
what a good tune you can make with completely nil technical
difficulty.
Tommy tunes normally, and Frank plays slide with open E (EBEG#BE)
tuning. Brian s bass line is VERY repetitive, but utterly essential.
The final (That s all folks) section I have transcribed with Tommy
playing chords, and Frank playing lead, but since it s quite tricky
to play the lead with a slide on your finger, Tommy could well be
doing it (and I m imagining the chords). Decide for yourselves.
I apologize for any confusion Tommy s part may cause-I have
written some bars as chords with the rhythnm shown, and others with
full tablature, and others still with both. I know it s very
unconventional, but it s both lazy and complete , giving both the
notes and the rhythm
s = sustain/hold
