Song: Long Way Down Artist: Goo Goo Dolls My music teacher and I tabbed out this song and you can decide how good it is. We got the solo and everything too. Also I'm going to tab out two different ways to play the background guitar, one is the way I've seen the Goo Goo Dolls play it, the other is a much easier way for others to play. h-hammer on p-pull off ^-bend v-vibrato /-slide *-guitar enters LR-let ring INTRO/CHORUS Guitar 1 (background) this is the way I've seen it done E------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------ D--2--4--4----7--7--6--4--2---------2------Play 2x A--0--2--2----5--5--4--2--0--5------0------ E----------------------------3------------- *Guitar 2 Enters E--------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------- D--2--4--4----7--7--6--4--2---------2------4-- A--0--2--2----5--5--4--2--0--5------0------2-- E----------------------------3---------------- LR------------| Guitar 2 (Lead, enter where indicated above) E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G-6h7-7-7-7-7-7-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-6h7-7-7-7-7-7-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-14-14-12-11-9---9h11p9-9/6 D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G-6h7-7-7-7-7-7-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-14-14-12-11-9---9h11p9-9/6-6h7--------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE, Guitar 1 (background) listen closely for timing because drums and bass take up most of this part ...there's nothing left to say...

Rate it however you like. Also listen to the song for timing and such because it's hard to set the rythem and tempo on a tab but I did my best. Please post corrections and I'll try to update the tab as necessary. Thanks.
