Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net) NOTES This was an instrumental that was a UK #1 for Fleetwood Mac in 1969. The electric guitar part is transcribed below. Given that there are only two chords to the song (Emaj7 and F#m), you could probably work out a bass part for a friend to play... Enjoy! Timing is 4/4. / - slide up \ - slide down ~ - vibrato Chords: Emaj7 021100 F#m 244222 1 |--------------------------------|-5---4-------------------5---4--| |--------------------------------|-5---4-------------------5---4--| |--------------------------------|-6---4-------------------6---4--| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |-------------------------2------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| | 1 -
