Driving South Tab by Stone Roses
Tab: Driving South
Artist: Stone Roses
Guitarist: ......i honestly dont know what his name is! The singers called Ian
Browne tho if you were wondering!
Oh hello! I didnt see you come in! Well I didnt see a tab for it on Ultimate-Guitar
or Olga so i decided to write it out for myself! Even tho he'll probably never see it I
must confess that i found a tab on tabsHeaven.net which gave me the foundation for
this tab! The good individual is called "Dave Cornforth" (thats how he wrote his
name i swear!!!) and id like to give him a round of applause!!! Yay!!! Swiftly moving
along now....iv probably made a thousand and 1 mistakes so forgive me as iv
only been playin for not even a year yet and im 15 so gimme a break! Apparently im THE most
enthusiastic guitarist ever tho! Up me eh!!!
Oh one more thing......this guitarist is the most under-rated guitarist ever
(excluding Rory Gallagher of course) and if anyone knows his name id greatly
appreciate it!!!

b|-----------------0-3----------|
g|-------------0-2--------------|
d|---------0-2------------------|
a|-----0-2----------------------|
E|-0-3--------------------------|
also can be played:
e|-------------------------------12-15-|
b|-------------------------12-15-------|
g|-------------------12-14-------------|
d|-------------12-14-------------------|
a|-------12-14-------------------------|
E|-12-15-------------------------------|
Right well that was fun! Hope ya have as much fun playin it as i did tabbing it!....I dont
mean that.......no-one should look for a fork in their room to stab themselves with!
Oh ya almost forgot! If ya wanna use this tab on a different site or you wanna change it
around a bit cus i made mistakes...or to add the solo for me....then all I ask is that
ya send me an e-mail at the_bearded_monkey@hotmail.com and ask me permission first!
Oh and that you give me credit if you hit the big time with it!!! Gluck!
Symbol Key:
b - Bend
sb - Slow bend
h - Hammer On
p- Pull off
bp - First bend the string and then pull off
/ - Slide
x - Mute the string with left hand
~ - Vibrato
¬ - If you see that over a piece of the tab, it means to make those notes quiter by
them softer! Thats if you want the exact sound thats offa the track....otherwise go nuts!!!
Oh ya...you wont see it on other tabs cus i made it up myself! Creative or what!!!
