We have an official Starry Eyes tab made by UG professional guitarists.

Check out the tab

Well for starters, I play this song totally different than any other stuff I have seen
any of the tab sites I have been to, so I figured that I would offer some input on this
because it is one of my favorites by the Crue.
 
It just seems like every other tab I try to play along with this tune sounds wrong even
I tune down and everything, so anyways here is how I play all the basic parts to "Starry
by Motley Crue.
 
Mick, you rule.....

Play the first two open strings together softly and let ring for a second or two then

palm mutes after they are played unless otherwise noted.

The "E" string is off center in the above tab guys by one spce, how that happend I don't know. Every thing on that "E" string should be shifted left one space, so the first "Two" open notes are together ect. The "E" string is also a little off center in the second set of tab also in the first verse the 4's and 5's should be played together. The "C" string before the build up is off center also the 2's and 3's should be played together along with the 4 - 5 there. This offset must of happend when I copied it from the note pad, and I apologize for this. The Music bridge is slightly off set also and the notes shouid be played together there also, The repeat chours section is also off center too.... the 5's and 3's should be played to gether along with the 7's and 5's... Is there any way I can edit the Tab here?
