Slow Death - Flamin Groovies tab?

We do a version of it, and it's a belter of a song to play but i didnt think many other bands would do it.

I have never written tab before but could try but basically I just play the roots in 8th for the first round of A C G D then let my fingers go where they want around pentatonic patterns on those chords.

Chorus is A to F# ( may be a G trying to remembe off the top of my head) which I just play roots on

Outro bit is D A G which i mostly just play roots and octaves with the odd fill for good measure
Solo is A I just play A G hammer on

The verse is the fun bit as you can play around a lot.

A slightly rough version of us playing it can be found here:
Listen to Slow Death by Black Dog Company #np on #SoundCloud

I hope that helps.

No worries and thanks for the comments.
I've had a play though at home so a bit more structure is (hope it makes sense and apologies for any errors):

Into & Verse
A C G D

PreChorus
8 bars A

Chorus
4 bars G

Verse
A C G D

Pre chorus
A

Solo
A - I pedal A to G and add the odd fill
Finishes in G as per Chorus

Verse
A C G D

Last Chorus bit (it's like bad dream, Slow death etc)
A to F#

Outro
D A G


It's not too hard once you get the structure sorted but it's a really good fun song to play. One of my favourites in our set.

I hope it goes well, all the best.
