Band: The Cars
Song: Bye Bye Love
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Author: Eliyahu of Ultimate-Guitar.com
Hey everyone, I just realized that there was only one tab for my favorite Cars song, and
wasn't anywhere near complete, so here is the full tab of the full song, including the
solo and guitar solos!
The tab I created goes in order of the song, and this time instead of using the
to tell you how many times to play a section, I'll writing every single line. It is all in
it doesn't go back and repeat at all, and the lyrics to each line will be under the
section (but not in time, so there may be words under a part that there are no
Titles like Intro or Chorus are given to help anyone who is confused.
Also, be on guard for small changes, like the last 2 notes in the verse, which are not
the last time.
h | hammer-on
p | pull-off
b | bend
r | release bend
pb | pre-bend
v | vibrato
~ | sustain note
/ | slide up
\ | slide down
