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

Artist: Thin Lizzy

Song: Jailbreak

Tabber: Neptune

Tuning: All guitars half step down.

This song is pretty simple to play. There's 3 guitars. GUitars 1 and 2 play the

same thing for some odd reason, probably to boost the sound up. Guitar 3 plays

all the fills you here with wah wah and the high notes in the chorus.

I've put the timing and the bars and its in 4/4 time. So, grab a watch and you'll

know when to play/sing. On the chorus, sometimes the bars don't fit because some

of the high notes take alot of tab space...but they're meant to be parallel.

I'm tabbing all of it, so decide when you want to come in with the fills. The

fills are in brackets, and when playing the main song, skip the fill until it

says above the verse. Though most of its repeats, i'm going to just copy and

paste, so just follow the page down. Have fun!!!

To night there's gonna be a jail break, somewhere in this town.

See, me and the boys-we don't like it, so we're gettin up n' go'in down.

Hid-in' low, lookin right to left, If you see us comin' i think its best.

to move away, Do you hear what i say, from un-der my breath?

To night there's gonna be trouble-- Some of us won't survive.

See, the boys and me mean business. Bustin' out dead or alive.

I can hear hound dogs on my trail. All hell breaks loose alarms and sirens wail

Like a game, if you lose Go to jail!!!!!
