"Rock The Casbah" by The Clash

Tabbed by SPAZ64

Here is a great youtube video in which I got these tabs from
(I just tabbed it out because he didn't link to tabs and the
only other tab on this site is, well, meh.) So, the link  is
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnN-GNP934w


Please note that these riffs are just played throughout with
the exception of the intro.

KEY:
h - hammer on
b - bend up a full note (aka note +2)
^ - bend to note
r - return
p - pull off (slide down to note without picking, 
              basically a reverse hammer on)
~ - let ring
/ - slide
x - play without holding down notes
