Rocker Tab

Thin Lizzy - The Rocker
 
This is the full version, apart from the drawn out solo on the album version.
Most people usually improvise the solo.
 
The notes are right, maybe the rhythm's not exact, I'm doing this from work
without my guitar.
 
Tuning: standard
 
/ slide up
\ slide down
h hammer on
p pull off
x dampen string

That's about it, listen to the song to put all these pieces together,
it should sound spot on if you get the rhythm right.
