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

Song

Thin Lizzy - The Rocker

This is the full version, apart from the drawn out solo on the album version.

Most people usually improvise the solo.

The notes are right, maybe the rhythm's not exact, I'm doing this from work

without my guitar.

Tuning: standard

/ slide up

\ slide down

h hammer on

p pull off

x dampen string
