Stages – ZZ Top
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
These chords are from the ZZ Top Guitar Anthology book. I didn’t
put the lyrics in order with the chords because it's already taken
me a number of hours to compose this. Listen to the timing
(tempo - 152) and you’ll figure it out.
I tried to make this as easy as possible. The other tabs I've seen
are confusing. These chords are 100% correct. If you want the
solos buy the book!!!
Artist: ZZ Top
Song: Stages
Album: Afterburner
