American Band Tab by Grand Funk Railroad


Hey, i am a HUGE fan of grand funk railroad and i wanted to look up the american band 
but the version they had wasnt quite right, so i took my spare time, and in a matter of 20 
of hard work, got alot of the song right. So here it is.

     Here is the intro, i couldnt quite get the notes ecactly, but it  sounds pretty good.

G|--5-777~--5h7p5-5h7p5-5h7p5-5h7p5- 7-9~-9-12-9-7-7-9~-9-12-9-7-5-777-7-999|

              ( Tight sqeeze huh)      but anyway, the hammer and pull offs have to be 
and if you hear the song, and play it, youll get the right timing and pick up fast.

 k no that you have the intro, you need the main riff
                and also, once your done the intro, go right into this

B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|--7-7--7xxxx--7-7--7xxxx--5-x--5-5-x--5-5--12-10-9-5-|
D|--7-7--7xxxx--7-7--7xxxx--5-x--5-5-x--5-5--12-10-9-5-|
A|--5-5--5xxxx--5-5--5xxxx--3-x--3-3-x--3-3--10-8--7-3-|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

       repeat for verse twice, and sometimes imbetween versus and chorus and also make 
to go back to the beginning quikly


k heres the chorus, it sounds good and strum downward continuosly x8 or x4, it means 
down 8 times, or 4 times, youll get it and dont make the strums fast, just get it along 
the song
