Chords
"Billy Hunt" off The Jam's 1978 album All Mod Cons.
Note: Riff 1 isn't played the same way each time. The tab written below is really just the intro, but from
C5 to Dsus4 (roughly 2 bars), the pattern is generally the same with slight alterations in note length or
doubling up power chords awnd adding pull-offs. The descending part of the riff is also played in the verses
in the transition from C down to G. I didn't write out the chords in between (messy), but they are the same.
