Sossity Youre a Woman

Jethro Tull
Tab
3.6(6)

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

Song

JamesB: Here's yet another Tull song.

Here are the basic parts of Sossity, including the intro, the verse,

and chorus, as well as the guitar run that is played following the intro

SECTION AT THE END OF THE SONG. THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THIS BUT I'VE

GOTTEN MOST OF IT TABBED. LISTENING TO THE SONG WILL ALLOW YOU TO

fill in the gaps.
