Chords/Tab transcription by Rockcru
I know there are other tab versions of this, but I believe that the tab archive ought
to show how the artist plays the song. In order to gain a little more perspective, I
saw the videotape of Bruce playing this song. There is no capo on Bruce's guitar.
As much as I could see, the chord forms below match those in the video.
Drop D tuning on both high and low E stings.
