----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Born To Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: paul E-mail: stashj8@yahoo.com Tuning: standard Don't really like the guitar pro version, so hopefully this is easier..And yes you should be slapping throughout the entire song ;/ intro - only time you'll play this part (0:00-0-15) Play this 32 times. G|--2-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|0-------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| (0:16-0:23) - play twice.
