(main run) w/rhythm fig.3

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days.
And people I meet, always go their seperate ways.
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink.
And times when you're alone all you do is drink.

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back.
I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back.
I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall.
I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all.  (w/rhythm fig.5)

Comments on this version of the 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' guitar tab

ynotnow13Unknown Date

the end of the intro goes more like this:

E--------------------0---------

B----------------------3----3--

G------------------------2----2

D-----------0--3--0------------ x3

A---0--0--3--------------------

E------------------------------

and then:

E-1--1--2

B-1--1--3

G-2--2--2

D-3--3--0

B-3--3--x

E-x--x--x

and i know for a fact that is correct.

but the rest of the tab is fine. email me if i have it wrong at ynotnow13@aol.com.

JackgUnknown Date

Yur both wrong. Hybrid plucking has to be used which I cannot tab coz its to difficult. Yu use yur pick as normal and then with your second and third fingers you pluck the top 2 strings :)

JackgUnknown Date

I would however like to congratulate whoever wrote the intro on this tab as it is the only correct 1 I have found.
