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

Gotta Let Go - Lita Ford

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

Tabbed by: Spence (Alex's Disciple)

Email: pointgodspence@hotmail.com

Tuning: Standard

This tab was already tabbed but it was pretty bad

and the solo wasn’t finished so here is

Gotta Let Go by Lita Ford.

This is the intro, play it four times alone

And four times with drums

Outro Solo:

Lita improvs this with the 19 Box when she does it live

And it fades out with it. You can just improv it too. Use

Lots of bending of the 20th fret on the B string and end

On the 19th fret on the G string, then a D5 Power chord.

ENJOY LITA!
