Dont Look Back

Boston
Tab
4.8(36)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

e|------------------------------------|
B|-14h15-15p14-14--x-x-x-x--7-9-10-9--|
G|-14-14-14-14-14--x-x-x-x--7-9--9-9--|
D|-14h16-16p14-14--x-x-x-x--7-9--9-9--|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|

then they do the intro a second time, and another guitar comes in

and does this:

e|-------------------14---------------------------------------------------|
B|-12b14b14b14r12-10----14h15p14h17-14h15p14h7-14h15p14-------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------16-16b18-16b18r16-|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----------14-16-|
D|-14-16-14-------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------|

they repeat the intro throughout the verses, and then they do this

pre-chorus arpeggio:

G

e|-------3----3-|-----0--|-----2-3-2--|              |----|
B|-----0----0---|---1----|---3--------|              |----|
G|---0----0-----|-0------|-2----------|              |----|
D|-0------------|--------|------------|then on the   |-2--|
A|--------------|--------|------------|4th time, play|-2--|
E|--------------|--------|------------|              |-0--|
e|-------------------------------12--|
B|-7-5-7-5-7b9r7-5--10-10-10-9-------|
G|----------------------------9------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|

then here's the chorus

e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4-5-7-4----------------9-7-5-4h5p4-----------------|
D|-7-7---------5-9b10r9-7-5---------------5vvv---9-9b10r9-|
A|--------------------------8-----------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4-5-7-4----------------9-7-5-4h5p4-----------------|
D|-7-7---------5-9b10r9-7-5---------------5-7-9b10r9------|
A|--------------------------8--------------------------7--|
E|-----------------------------------------------------5--|

then here's the solo:

e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----4-5-7-4----------------9-7-5-4h5p4--------------|
A|-7-7---------5-9b10r9-7-5---------------5-7-9b10r9---|
E|--------------------------8--------------------------|

then it gets higher in pitch, probably an octave.

near the end, they repeat the intro, followed by

this neat "Rideout" solo:

e|-21-22-23-23b24--17h19p17--19b21wwww-------------14-17-14-17(tr)--|
B|-------------------------------------17----17-19------------------|
G|----------------------------------------18------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------|
B|-17b19-17p15p14----14-----------------|
G|----------------16----16b18r16-14\_---|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|

they finally end doing this:

e|--------------------------|
B|---------/10-9-10-10vvv---|
G|---7-6-7------------------|
D|-2------------------------|
A|-0------------------------|
E|--------------------------|
