American Woman The Guess Who

 
 -------

 


 


 If you want the exact version to the 'PRELUDE', see Steve Garner's


 intro here (but you have to re-tune your git-fiddle):


 


 http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/g/guess_who/american_woman_intro_tab.htm;


 


 OR, see Don Shanty, Jr.s version here (no git-fiddle re-tuning):


 


 http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/g/guess_who/american_woman_tab.htm


 


 (Great job by both Steve, and Don. Thank you, both.)


 


 NOTE: What I present here is a basic, generic version, for intermediate and


 highly motivated beginners. Please keep that in mind and don't rate it


 low because it's not the end-all-be-all version of this song.


 Thanks, Skidaddy, Esq., G.Q.
