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

GREEN LIGHT GIRL - Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: RangeMaster

Email: Yeah..like I'm going to put my address here!

Look, I got tired of seeing everyone tab the into out wrong! I haven't bothered to tab

the solo, I can later if you really want it. I hope this gets you started down the right

at least.

Tuning: Not sure, I use standard E tuning. The pitch on the recording is about 25%

so if you want to play to the recording shift the pitch down 25% (if you're using a slow-downer).

Intro:

D-7 2X

e||---------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------||
B||---------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------||
G||-5b7r5---------|------------------|-5b7r5------------|-----------------||
D||-------7-3-5-~~|-5b7r5-3----------|-------7-3-5-~~~--|-5b7r5-3---------||
A||---------------|---------3-5-~~~--|------------------|---------3~~~----||
E||---------------|------------------|------------------|-----------------||

Pre-Verse:

D-7

e|------------------|---------------------------||
B|-----------------6|-------------8-6---------6-||
G|-----------------5|-------------7-5---------5-||
D|-----------------7|---------5h7---7---------7-||
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5|-5-5-5-5---------5-5-5-5-5-||
E|------------------|---------------------------||

(P.M..........) (P.M....) (P.M....)

Something along those lines, listen to the recording to get the timing down. I don't

play the second part of the pre-verse because my fingers get sweaty and I'll flub it

going to hear it when the drummer and bass player come in anyway?

Verse: Simple, Just chunk out the chords with a palm mute.

D-7 F G

e|---------|        |---------|        |---------|
B|--6------|        |---------|        |---------|

A|--5------|        |-3-------|        |-5-------|

..Pretty thing.... Spend all night.. In a red light town...
