Take it Or Leave It

Jet
Tab
4.2(5)

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

Song

Song:Take it or leave it

Band:Jet

Album:Get Born

Tabbed by the big eejit. I could probably tab this whole album if I had

the time. This is a brilliant song to jam to.
