Song: I Was Only Joking
Artist: Rod Stewart
Tabber: Brittany (questions, comments, hate mail?...bthai22@sbcglobal.net)

I couldn't find any tabs that were correct, let alone in the right key. So, I tabbed it
myself, so you guitarists wouldn't have to rely on the incorrect tabs on here. This is
99.9% correct, if not perfect, trust me. Just listen to the song and you will find that
I am right. As for the solo, I'm pretty sure it is 100% accurate. You will have to figure
out the timing yourself. I've given you everything, just piece it together. If you can't
do even that, I don't know what the hell you're doing with a guitar.
