Ok this is a song by thin lizzy i tabbed this cos most people's tabs are wrong(sorry if
caused offence) anyway this is as close as i could get 2 the real thing so enjoy...

bass line plays and when the drums beat kicks in this is played:
|-------------------|
|-8*8-8-------------|
|-7*7-7-7*7-7-5*5-5-|
|-9*9-9-7*7-7-5*5-5-|
|-7*7-7-5*5-5-3*3-3-|
|-------------------|
this is the rhythm played through the verses

these fills are played on the 1st verse because the saxaphone plays the fills on the 2nd verse:
fill 1:
|-0-0-0--0--0-0--|
|-8-8s10-10-8s10-|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|

fill 2:
|-0--0--0--0--0--0--|
|-15-15-13-13-12-13-|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|

chorus:
|-----------------------------|
|-8*8-8-----------------------|
|-7*7-7-7*7-7-5*5-5-----4-4-4-|
|-9*9-9-7*7-7-5*5-5-5-5-4-4-4-|
|-7*7-7-5*5-5-3*3-3-5-5-2-2-2-|
|-------------------3-3-------|
play this twice per chorus

the best part the solo:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
