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

Song

As performed by the Huevos Rancheros on their LP, "Get Outta Dodge."

Transcribed by Mike Eheler (kcobain13@hotmail.com).

Tuning: Standard

Tempo: Moderately fast (about 120-144)

Sound: Distorted Guitar. Note that the Rancheros play a Gibson style guitar.

Notes: This song is in 6/8 time. So instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4, you

count 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3 as there are 2 beats per measure, each beat

containing a triplet.

pentatonic scale when playing this one, plus there's

basically only one chord to play over - G, with the

occasional F)
