Lyrics:
Sin City
 
Patt. 1
Diamonds and dust
Poor man last, rich man first
Lambourghini's, caviar
Dry martini's, Shangri-La
        A
I got a burning feeling
                          B
Deep inside of me lit the oven
B/A  B
     But I'm gonna set it free
 
Patt. 1
I'm going in to sin city
I'm gonna win in sin city
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm gonna win in sin city
 
(I'm gonna burn you baby)
Patt. 1
Ladders and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief
Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief
 
Fingers Finny, Diamond Jim
daggers ready, look out I'm coming in
E  G  A
     So spin that wheel, cut that flack
A
And roll those loaded dice
A  B5
        Bring on the dancing girls
B5
     And put the champagne on ice
X

just noticed. are you sure the one note in the solo is 24? the only sg with 24 frets is an sg supreme and those weren't even made in '78. he would of used either a standard or custom on the recording.
more corrections... when vocals come in, the pattern changes to this. e b g 2 d 4 0 2 a 2 2 0 e 0 And in the 0-3-0 the 3 is bent slightly. Again, great tab, but not fully correct. 5 stars though.
great tab five star
