xThe Black Crowes Song Title: Another Roadside Tragedy TBC Original? Yes Written By: C.R & R.R. Recording Session: Band Record: Band (released as "Lost Crowes") Live Debut: 06/20/1997 Shows: 52 times played live Notes: recorded in May, 1997 at Purple Dragon Studios in Atlanta, GA and appears on Band. ------------------------- The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com Tuning: CFCFAC (Open F- Open G down one full step) This one was tough to tab out. This tab isn't 100% note for note, and I'll explain why but I covered the major parts that you need to play the song. Intro: C----------------------------| A--------1----3-----1--------| F---------------------2p0-0--| C----0h2---/3---3\2----------| F----------------------------| C----------------------------| Verse Riff: C--------------------------------| A--------------------------------| F------0-0--0---0-0---0-2p0---0--| C----2--------2-------------2----| F--------------------------------| C--------------------------------| During the verses, this is repeated three times with a fill to end it. I wasn't going sit here and tab out every single one of them for a few reasons...they got lost in the so I couldn't hear them, I simply couldn't figure out what Rich was playing, and I don't want to waste my time tabbing them out note for note. Open tunings allow for a lot of fun improvisational fills, so you can have fun making up your own parts. Here are the two the vocals come in, and a third one from the first verse to give you an idea of what to play...

The chorus is repeated four times, then the main riff is played and improvised on as the instruments drop out until just the organ, drums (rimshots only), and rhythm guitar are left, with the rhythm guitar playing this riff...
