LEVELLERS - "barrel of a gun" Tablature

From: cs5133@ccub.wlv.ac.uk (Simon Phillips)


This is Barrel of a gun from the levellers album 'A weapon called the word.'

I cant remember all of the words .. but it's only 3 chords really anyway..


It starts off with left hand muting ..

Put your index finger over the third fret ...This is the part counted
like 1 ..2 ..3 .4 .. It then starts with an Aminor..

At the start of every bar do a 'pull off' with your first finger ..
then 'hammer on' again in the same place ..

Then the left hand muting starts again ... its not very easy
to describe it .. but its easy enough if you listen to the song.

1 ..2 ..3 ..4

The lyrics are ....

Am.........

C G Am
In a..
C G Am
lay ..
C G
No ..
C G Am Am
You ...


Sorry i can't remember all of the lyrics..

I hope you can work it out easily .. if not e-mail me
or if i am logged on ... try a talk request!!.
