Marvin Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I can't work out the chorus bit for One Way or Another by Blondie. All the stuff on the internet seems out to me or missing a bar Can anyone help please? Edited January 25, 2011 by Marvin Quote
Marvin Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 It's ok, scratch it. I'm sort of there. Thanks Quote
dlloyd Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I had to learn this for a wedding a couple of years back... worst song ever. Quote
Marvin Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Hmm, it's not particularly pretty to play. Although I do like the song itself I'm not mad keen on playing it. Quote
lojo Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 i just learned this for a set, which bit are you unsure of ? Quote

I've worked around those roots and it sounds very close to the recording, and far more accurate than the two tabs I found. I'm a lot happier with it now. Thanks again. Quote
