RADAR LOVE  Golden Earring



Radar Love by Golden Earring, from _Moontan_ (1974)
transcribed by pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov (patrick m. ryan)
original chords from karl@BofA.com (Karl Nicholas)


"/" means slide up
"^" means bend up to note

There are actually two guitars in this song. I've
written this tab for just one. The song is in E. Most of the little riffs in
this song are played in the 2nd and 14th positions using a pentatonic scale.

There's some noodling around during the choruses and during verse 3 that I haven't gotten down yet. In
verse 3, the two guitars are doing distinctly different things.
