Speed Home California
guitar tabs lyrics
Well okay I couldn't help but notice there was no plain TAB for this song on here yet,
I know not EVERYBODY has Guitar Pro so I decided to MAKE a tab because I love this song.
Here we go!
INTRO (a couple times.. you'll get the rhythm)
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|---4--------------------------------------|
|---4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--------|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
then you do this a couple times
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|---4---------------4----------------------|
|---4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--------|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
This is the last bit of the intro
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|
|---4---------------------------------4----|
|---4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---4----|

At the beginning of the verse
|------| |-------------------|
|------| |-------------------|
|------| |-------------------|
|--6---| and the second guitar as an option |--6-9-6-4-6-9-6-4--|
|--6---| just bend the 7th on the g-string |--6-9-6-4-6-9-6-4--|
|--6---| and let it all ring then hit |--6-9-6-4-6-9-6-4--|
then during the rest of the verse play the MAIN RIFF.
CHORUS

|--------------------|x3
|--------------------|
|----------6-6-------|
|--6-6-4-4-6-6-6-6---|

|--6-9-6-4-6-9-6-4--|
|--6-9-6-4-6-9-6-4--|
