Transcontinental This is a hybrid tab concocted from a few live versions (so if you want to play along with the album, drop down a whole step). There's a few variations in the way he plays this. As a duo or band there's more power/muted chords. When he's solo, the chords are more open. This frankenstein tab is bits of both. Lots of chord changes, so rate this as intermediate. D/B = 7x077x D/A = x0077x or 5x077x G = 3x003x on the chorus. On the verse go barred like a brute cake.
