From: [email protected] Guitars 'double up'on this track. The tab pretty much covers Stuart Adamson's(Guitar 1) & Bruce Watson's(Guitar 2)parts - you'll have to choose which one you want to be.....unless of course you're a freak with two pairs of hands and a doubleneck guitar! The song is in C. h - hammer on p - pull off / - slide up \ - slide down ~ - vibrato PM- palm mute INTRO/VERSE 1 - {Riff 1 x 4}Guitar 2 E|-----15-----12-|-----15-----12----|-----12-----8-|-----12-----8----| B|-13-----13-----|-13------13----13-|-10-----10----|-10------10---10-| G|---------------|------------------|--------------|-----------------| D|---------------|------------------|--------------|-----------------| A|---------------|------------------|--------------|-----------------| E|---------------|------------------|--------------|-----------------| {Riff 2}Guitar 1 + {Riff 1 x 1}Guitar 2 E|-20--------|-20-----20--20b22-|-17h20p17-17~~~|----17-----15-------| B|----20~~~~-|----20------------|---------------|-17-----17----17-17\| G|-----------|------------------|---------------|--------------------| D|-----------|------------------|---------------|--------------------| A|-----------|------------------|---------------|--------------------| E|-----------|------------------|---------------|--------------------| CHORUS {let ring} E|-------------|----------------|--------------|--------------| B|-------------|----------------|-13-----------|--------------| G|-------------|----------------|-14-----------|--------------| D|-------------|----------------|-15-----------|--------------| A|-------------|----------------|--------------|--------------| E|-------------|----------------|--------------|--------------| The luck of a 1000 stars can't get me out of this {let ring} <====x 4====>{strum chord repeatedly} E|-------------|----------------|-8-----------| B|-13----------|----------------|-8-----------| G|-14----------|----------------|-10----------| D|-15----------|----------------|-10----------| A|-------------|----------------|-8-----------| E|-------------|----------------|-8-----------| The luck of a 1000 stars.......losing... {Riff 3 x 2}Guitar 1 + {Riff 1 x 2}Guitar 2 E|-----20-----17-|-----20-----17----|-----17-----15-|-----17-----15----| B|-20-----20-----|-20------20----20-|-17-----17-----|-17------17----17/| G|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------| D|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------| A|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------| E|---------------|------------------|---------------|------------------| {Riff 4}*played alongside {Riff 1 & 3}2nd time E|-------------------|---------|--------------|----------| B|----17p15-15\13-13\|10~~~~---|-10--12/13----|----------| G|-------------------|---------|-----------12-|-9~~~~----| D|-------------------|---------|--------------|----------| A|-------------------|---------|--------------|----------| E|-------------------|---------|--------------|----------| 2ND VERSE -
