Listen to the Music The Doobie Brothers
I wanted to learn this song a long time ago as a beginner and
there were no easy-ish tabs on it, so I had my guitar teacher
sound out the chords for me. I think this is a nearly perfect tab.
TIPS:
While you play the D chords, you can use your ring finger and
pinky on the high e string to get the background melody you
hear prodominantly throughout the song like this:
e ------0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 0------
And when you play the Bridge/Verse 3 towards the end, use this
C and G fingering for the chords:
e [C]3 [G]3
[B]G [3]0 [3]0
D 2 0
[A]E [3]0 [2]3
***CAPO 2***
