VERSE:
- I threw in a couple of lines of tab for the verse so you can see some of the
licks Marty plays. Once you master this you can start improvising.
- The bass line is key to the song. He often just plays the bass notes.
- Notice I had to stretch the spacing on the last measure of the 2nd line of tab.
There were too many notes to fit in and still keep the tab correct. Just
concentrate on keeping the timing the same between ^ symbols.
- Occasionally you will see the "x" symbol and notes on the same line. Here
you need to slap the strings (with side of palm) at the same time you strum
the notes. Takes awhile to get it down, but once you do it sounds great.
(sometimes throws in D5)

[Em/G/D/Cadd9]Freedom came my way that night
[Em/G/D/Cadd9]just like a jet plane In and out of sight
[Em/G/D/Cadd9]I was hauling ass at a million miles an hour
[Em/G/D/Cadd9]wondering how hard I'd hit
[Em/G/D/Cadd9]When they came into the station
[Em/G/D/Cadd9]they said I was bad beyond repair
[Em/G/D/Cadd9]But I got no qualms with my situation
