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

Manifest Destiny (Intro)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>From "The Return Of The Space Cowboy"

Tabbed by Scotia (scotia@thpub.freeserve.co.uk)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is how I play this intro, & it sounds quite close to the

recorded original.

You have to listen quite closely to the note length/use of staccato

& muting in order to get it to sound right. I thought about going

into detail in the tab, but this may make it kinda complex (hey,

this is my first one, okay!?)

The slide up to and down from the rake (do you think that's what he

does?) is from about the 15th fret, or wherever you like really. Just

get the sound right.

Be sure get enough punch from your plucking hand, and those smooth

slides from your fretting hand and that should do the trick.

Contact me if you have any suggestions, improvements, or anything

to say in general! (& if you've got the chorus....)
