Gasoline Alley
NOTE: This tab is in STANDARD TUNING. The song is actually played
in OPEN E. This tab is arranged for the acoustic guitar part.
I have included the part for the electric slide guitar as well.
You will hear when to use each part. Chords in (parentheses)
are really not played but can be if you choose NOT to play
the individual notes or riff. However, the Bm and A chord in
The CHORUS are actually played and highlighted.
