We started playing the chords to this song and I thought "Hmm, I could tab this." So I did. Here ya go. Sorry I haven't posted in a little, I've just been busy and lazy. Enjoy peeps. P.S. I'd advise finger picking this one. It's a lot easier to play.
I don't remember by who or what reason I learnt of this song. but if it was a who, then I could hug them all day. Here's two of the intro tabs to this song. I didn't tab out the one before them though (you'll know what I'm talking about if you watch the video or know the song). They look pretty complex but they're not. Enjoy!
This is one of the most classic riffs of all time. Even if you don't know the whole song, you probably know this riff. Cream Sunshine Of Your Love, here it is.
E D E B Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share When my woman left home for a brown eyed man, Well, I still don't seem to care
F# Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be, Only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end, But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh
E D E B Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share When my woman left home for a brown eyed man, Well, I still don't seem to care
E D A I know what it means to be alone E D A I sure do wish I was at home E D A I don't care what the neighbors say E D A I'm gonna love you each and every day E D A You can feel the beat within my heart E D A Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part
This is probably ACDC's most famous riff, nevermind the most famous chord riff of all time, and it's super easy. The X's mean hit right below your strings on your Uke, but not to hard. Uke on!

I've been meaning to post this up for a while, and I just finished it tonight. It's a slightly simplified version of the Sweet Home Alabama riff. Basically, this plays throughout the song with changes to the end bit sometimes. You might be wondering what those weird letters are for, well, they're for telling you when to hammer on and slide off. Hammer ons are when you pick the string and then put another finger on a fret above the one you're currently playing so you make two notes in one pick. Slides are basically the same thing except you slide instead. P.S. s=slide and h=hammer on.
This Green Day song was at the end of the second Transformers movie, and in my opinion, it's a great way to top off a movie. It's the first time I really liked a Green Day song. Hope you like!
