ending - A G chords over Neil's crazy ad lib. On Broad_________way All chords shown are open, though for the ending he uses Barre A & G. For the riff, just finger the open A chord on & off. Let the note on e string ring out and mute somewhat the last 4 notes. Any corrections, additions welcome. Craig Sihner [email protected]
