NOTE: I am not sure of what to use for the pull offs and hammer ons so this is what the
P's and H's repreasent:
P-pull off
H-hammer on
The 'crunching' type sound near the beginning is made by just sliding a pick/plectrum
down the A string, start around where the middle pickup is on a strat and just slide
down in
time with the song, it's not a major part of the song but its nice to put in
Intro (although repeated later in the song):
P H

Do this twice.
Verse/Chorus chords:
Its a bit hard to hear but I think John Du Cann plays the barre chords but misses out
the B and E string octaves, its really up to you but I've tabbed without.

And that's it apart from the solo, which I haven't worked out yet. As with most John Du
Cann solo's, it's a beautiful mess! One thing he does do quite consistenly at the
beginning of it is bending the B string at the 12th/13th fret (I'm not entirely sure;
either he was an amazing string bender - well, he is anyway - or he was at the 13th, just do
whatever floats your boat ^_^).
And thats it, if you have any Atomic Rooster song requests, just give me a message and
I'm sure I might be able to tab it for you.
