Palm Trees Helicopters And Gasoline Tab by Joe Bonamassa Palm Trees, Helicopters, and Gasoline By: Joe Bonamassa Transcribed by: Brennan Lentz *Tuning (VERY IMPORTANT): from bottom to top, D A D D G D I am confident this tuning is right. I can play the whole song in it just fine and it great. However, take it with a grain of salt because I am only basing this off the You And recording. I don't have any videos, any live recordings, etc. and I have never seen him it, so this is just my ear doing the transcribing. *Listen for strumming patterns. I purposely didn't write every single open string note in, but you can tell by listening that there are always open strings ringing (for example, in this opening passage). Just listen for the pattern and the tab will give you the actual notes. Since the song is so percussive it is nearly impossible to transcribe everything, but I guarantee the accuracy of this tab. However, if there are any places you disagree with, please email me at Vaughanabe13@aol.com so I can revise it. Thanks and enjoy!
