Auto-scroll

I've seen a lot of bad tabs of this song so I tried to find it by ear myself and I got to interesting enough to post it here. Johnny played thousands of different way so that's just one of 'em. :) This is my first tab, and it's incomplete for now but I'll update regularly as soon as I out another part of the tune. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Don Cortizone Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard Note 1: All bars are in 4/4, I think it helps figuring out the rhythm since its a lot of fast notes on different speeds.
