DANGER - AC/DC
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Terry Long
Email: mrmaestro1 'at' gmail.com
Watch the video of this song on the DVD "Family Jewels." You should be able to
see that I tabbed this exactly the way they play it in the video.
Tuning: Standard
Time Signature: 4/4
Starts with 8 measures of rest while Guitar 2 plays palm-muted 8th-notes on
the 5th fret of the 'A' string (slightly lifting left-hand finger each note
so as to play it shorter). Continue this until CHORUS (1st time).
VERSE 1
Don't talk to strangers
Keep away from the danger, yeah, yeah
Don't talk to strangers who smile
Keep away from the danger all the time, you just keep away
