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

Corduroy

Notes:

Some sections of the song are not transcribed, but are obvious

repetitions of earlier sections. I have tried to note these

sections when possible.

Guitar I - medium-light distortion

Guitar II - heavy distortion

Intro:

This is a sampling of the intro. All the parts are here, but some

sections are longer than tabbed. Use your ears to figure them out.
