Tab Gitar Stereophonics – The bartender and the theif Versi 1

Stereophonics - The Bartender And The Theif Tabbed By Richard Pugh One of their best live songs. Me and my brother cover this song in out band, and this is how we play it: Key: x = Muted strings ~ = Let ring/ vibrato in the solo (and where it sounds good) / = Slide up to... = Slide down to... "-"s are used only to make the tab seem clear, they are used for timing only, nothing else.
