Since I did a "cover" version of this about a month or so ago, a couple of people have asked me for the tab to this, so I've written it out for them.INTRO RIFF - Piano adapted for guitar. I find the easiest way to play
this is by forming a D chord with my first finger across the G B & E
strings at the 2nd fret, and my second finger on the B string at the
3rd fret. Then when I need the D6, or the hammer-on at the start, I
only need to use my third finger for the G string, 4th fret. For the
A6 chord, I simply barre strings 1 2 3 & 4 at the second fret, and
for the Em, I use my first two fingers.

VERSE RIFF - This is similar to the intro riff, but you don't need
the hammer-ons for the Em chord. You can play them if you like, but
it gets a bit tricky trying to sing and play at the same time.
Cindy, ain't you noticed, that several of your friends have

I've left it too late tonight to record an MP3, I'll try and do one tomorrow - it'll make it easy to follow the strumming pattern.

Many thanks for this one Vic,
Thats a lot of hard tabbing you have done for us all. Deserves more than just two replies!
I just love this song from Rod & The Faces, one of their best I think.

Many many thanks for this one mate. I have been after this for eons. An excellent song by an excellent band. Sounds great!
Too much beer is just enough
Wow thanks! I've been looking for a good version of this for some time. You wouldn't have Ooh La La by any chance would you :D
Wow thanks! I've been looking for a good version of this for some time. You wouldn't have Ooh La La by any chance would you :D
I haven't actually got a tab for it, but it doesn't sound too hard. However I'll bet my mate Stu - who I'm jamming with tomorrow - knows it. I'll ask him tomorrow and get back to you on that one!
:D :D :D
