Song Title: Round & Round
Written By: Chris Isaak
>From The CD: San Francisco Days
Tabbed On: Gibson Les Paul
This File Tabbed & Arranged By: J.P. Seneviratne
**************************************************************************************************
Openers: Ok there really isn't alot of guitar work in this song except for the last little piece
which any guitarist worth their instrument could improvise so I won't even bother trying
to write all of it out. Really we don't even play the ending solo except when we feel
like going off into our own little world;) So let us see what we can get into shall we?

Standard Tuning Blues
Round & Round
As Preformed By:
Chris Isaak & The Silvertones
Riff 1:
|---------| This riff right here is the whole song. This is the intro., the verses, and what seems
|---------| to be the chrous. Of course there are a few bits thrown in here and there to make the
|---------| song sound fuller which I will include below. The use of a dive bar on the bend really
|------7--| helps this piece out! Also please crank your distortion on this song.
|------5--|
|--0b-----|
Riff 2:
|---------------------------|----------------------| This piece is played after a verse usually!
|--1h3-1h3-1h3-1h3----------|--1h3-1h3-1h3-1h3--0--|
|------------------3p1p0h1--|----------------------|
|---------------------------|----------------------|
|---------------------------|----------------------|
|---------------------------|----------------------|
So Basically the song goes a lil' something like this!
Intro:
|----------|
|----------|
|----------|
|--7----7--| Riff 1,
|--5----5--|
|----------|
Verse 1:
Riff 1 Riff 1

Riff 1 Riff 2 Riff 1
Tell me why you want to go, I don't love you anymore.
Verse 2:
Riff 1 Riff 1
Here you go mad again Tell me that your just a friend.
Riff 1 Riff 2

Chrous:
