Steppenwolf ? Magic Carpet Ride
Tabbed by Nick Carson 2/10/02
Email mr_telecaster@hotmail.com

I got the main chord off a tab by HatedBlueAum@hotmail.com. I moved the main chord up to the 8 and 10 frets for a higher cleaner sound and put in the muted strumming patterns. You need full reverb and a very clean sound with only half bass.

X = Muted Strum
D = Down strum
U = Up strum                                             repeat >***< section here

Repeat Bridge part 1 & 2 once again?
Then repeat Bridge part 2 over and over until the end of the song?

This song is strangely arranged. Half of it is just the bridge part 2 with no lyrics and some sort of fog horn. It may be difficult to judge the strumming patterns but as always if you listen to the song you can figure it out.
