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

Song

Yankee Rose

===========

Dave Lee Roth Band

Though this track contains a few tricky licks its still pretty simple

compared to most of Sheehans stuff, so it shouldn't present too

many problems.

The fills are slightly different for the second verse, but I

haven't bothered

to work those out. Those preseted here work fine, alternativly you

could work

them out, or just make someting up.

There's also some tapping/harmonic during the half time section

which has been omitted.

Its just too quiet to make out on my copy of the album.

The final section is a real bitch if you don't have some detuning

mechanism. It should be played one ocave down from the postion I've

written it in, which

basically means taking the bottom E strig down to a D. Unfortunatly

this has

to be done on the fly, as the open string is really essential for

some of the

earlier riffs. Otherwise you'll have to play it as written, which

will sound

a little thin.

Enjoy...
