 A5				     D		    A
Hey fellas have you heard the news, you know that Annie's back in town.
					D	  A
It won't take long until someone can see all the fellas lay their money down.
					D	A
Her style is new but the face's the same as it was so long ago.
				      D        A
But from her eyes a different smile like that of one who knows.

       A5			       D	  A
Well it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
				  D	   A
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.
				D	A
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love.
				     D	       A
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.

With [Riff 3] x2:

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat.
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.

With [Riff 4] x1:

One thing I do have on my mind, if you could clarify please do.

With [Riff 5] x1:

It's the way you call me another guy's name when I try to make love to you.

[Fill 1] x2

Hi, great tab. Found some mistakes in the solos though (according to me). When you come to this part in the first solo:


e:-------------------------------------8p5-7---------8p5-7-----5h8p5-|


B:--5-8p5--5-5-5-5-8p5-------5--8p5-5--------5h7--5--------5h7-------|


G:---------------------7--7b-----------------------------------------|


D:-------------------------------------------------------------------|


A:-------------------------------------------------------------------|


E:-------------------------------------------------------------------|





I think that the





e--8p7-7----------


B---------5h7--5--


G-----------------


D-----------------


A-----------------


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


..part should be played like this:


e--8p5-7p5----5-----


B-----------7--------


G--------------------


D--------------------


A--------------------


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


(reapeated of course...)





And the final part of the second solo:


e------15-----15-----15----15----15-------


B--/17----17------17----17----17-----17\--


G------------------------------------------


D------------------------------------------


A------------------------------------------


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





Well it should be played like this:


e---------15------15------15------15-------


B-15b(17)-----(17)-----(17)-----(17)-----(17)--


G------------------------------------------


D------------------------------------------


A------------------------------------------


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





e-15---15----------------------------------


B-----(17)r15-------------------------------


G------------------------------------------


D------------------------------------------


A------------------------------------------E------------------------------------------
