I Know What I Want Chords & Tabs
I Know What I Want – Cheap Trick
Tabbed By Tyler Hopkins
Note: This song's easy enough as long as you are able to listen to it.
I couldn't get the solo's tabbed note for note, but I have where they start so just be
in coming out of them.
I hope you have as much fun listening (and playing) to Cheap Trick as I do!
