Billy Idol Chords & Tabs

Version: 3 Type: Tab

Dancing With Myself Tab

   
Billy Idol Dancing with myself
From the album: dunno? I got it from the greatest hits
Tabbed by Liam
Email: guitar_rocker_47@hotmail.com
Tuning: half a step down

Note: this is not the generation X version –the two versions differ slightly, this is
Idol’s version with Steve Stevens on lead guitar (not Derwood from Generation X) if you
the Generation X version im sure I could give it a go for you. To reiterate the song’s 
duration should be 4.50 minutes or there abouts cos that is Billy Idol’s version.
