Lonely East Tx Nights Tab

Hi guys, this is my first tab. All done by ear might I add! I'm only 16 so forgive me if something doesn't
seem right.. This song sounds really good when using a fender strat. (Bands primary) But for this case
I've been using a Gibson Les Paul. If you're choosing lead, play bar chords and alternate pick out the chord.
It gives it that nice filling sound. I play both so I'm all over the board.
This isn't 100% correct, but from my ear, and judgement, it's pretty friggin close.

Em      Cadd9         D
Same old song on the radio tonight
Em       Cadd9                   D
One about wine and roses and candlelight
Em            Cadd9                D
But I'm getting all from you with every town that I play
Em         Cadd9                 D

But I can’t dry your tears on the telephone
Em      Cadd9                 D
But I'm coming back to you I swear I’ll make it right
Em          Cadd9                D
I’m making my way back home on a red eye midnight flight
 
Chorus:
Cadd9  Em            D
Oooo…  baby here I'm comin' home
Cadd9         Em              D

pattern.)

*You’ve gotta listen really closely. Allot of this stuff is hidden and you can’t hear it real well.
This is the best I can do. There’s probably a lot of errors, but this is as close as you’ll
get it in my opinion. You can play this two ways. Up on the neck around the 12th fret, or around the 8th fret
I chose 12th because it was easier for me to decipher the sounds. Also because it was easier to play
the scale. Again, I’m 16 and this is all done by ear! :)
