Stretch Out and Wait

tab'ed by stephen cheng ([email protected]) this one sounds rather nice on an accoustic guitar and, as there is no instrument break, particularly suitable as a solo. the song is in 6/8 time, and each dash of each bar denotes 1/4 note, except the first and last dash of each bar, which are used 'cos it looks nicer. the tab more or less indicates the chord positions, so you should strum through the song as you sing along. ..oh, and you don't need to capo! wow! ;) E |-x------| B |-x------| G |-x------| D |-x------| A |-x------| E |-x------| percussion intro: just strum along and simulate.
