Tab Gitar Kid Rock – Times like these acoustic Versi 1

ARTIST: KID ROCK SONG: TIMES LIKE THESE TABBED BY: JEFF MARTIN TUNING: HALF STEP DOWN Tabbed is an acoustic version that can be found in various forms on the internet. It was most recently performed on the 2010 American Music Awards, and in my humble opinion was the highlight of the show. The performance can be found in video (again) all over the internet. As we all know, live performances have tons of improv and variation. The following tab can be used as a foundation and is open for interpretation. Never the less, it will get you where you need to be if you want to play it live (or just by yourself). I hope this helps!
