Tabbed by Rick Weber. Some of the solo and bridge content and notation of this is borrowed from the Tab by Steve Vetter, and Henrik Jonsson. I corrected some accuracy problems that I encountered while playing it and completed what they started. This is my interpretation of this song, and is not inteded to represent official notation of the song as performed by AC/DC. This Tab is for research and personal growth as a guitarist only. Solos are not perfect, and are only intended to provide a framework for improvisation. Some of it pretty on, some of it isn't it's all just what Those other guys put together so I threw it in here. You gotta make it your own anyway, so without further delay and Gibber Jabber... RIDE ON by AC/DC ================ Chords: "_" Preceding a chord means it's the barred version of that chord.
