Ain`t nobody feels like goin` home
Play refrain here then main riff 4 times again
Song finishes off with a solo around the first 3 frets based on the riffs from the verses....you should figure that out...
Let freedom ring
Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still Oh Lady Moonshine down, a little people magic if you will
This tab was created with the help of an Amiga computer and the sampling software Audiomaster IV, under the menu effects/duration/pitch the frequency and the pitch can be doubled, thus enabling the program to play back the sample at half the speed but with the original pitch.
