American Woman  Lenny Kravitz

Subject: TAB: "American Woman" (Writen by the Guess Who; Performed by Lenny Kravitz)
This song appears on Lenny Kravitz's rerelease of 5, as well as the Austin Powers II: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack.
NOTES: This song was an origional hit in the 80's by the Guess Who. It is played in Standard tuning (eBGDAE). Lenny Kravitz uses a distortion box for his version. Later on in the song a Crybaby Wah comes in to use as well. I use a Danelectro Fab Tone¨. During the solo everything is dropped down one fret. I will work on the solo and re-post this tab. I am posting the tab without the solo to have it available as quickly as possible.
~American Woman~

~The solo is played over this next part. This guitar is played in the background. I will post the tab for the solo later. If you would like to get it sooner, email me. Also, notice that this part, for the first two riffs, is the same main riff, played one fret lower (Drew14243@Hotmail.Com):~
