Tall Ships Go(Tabs)

	        From: [email protected] 
 
A cracking riff starts and underpins this little belter. I've 
tried to make the tab as easy to understand as possible(honest). 
Anyway in a nutshell Guitar 1 plays the lead parts & Guitar 2 the 
rhythm - chord symbols above bars denote the chord(s) being played. 
Listen to the track itself for guidance on the strumming pattern. 
The purests amongst you may like to note that Stuart Adamson used a 
2p coin instead of a plectrum & lots of echo to get the rhythm guitar 
sound(fascinating fact no.1022396 - snore). The song is in G. 
 
h - hammer on 
b - bend up 
/ - slide up 
\ - slide down 
~ - vibrato
