Highway Star Chords & Tabs

HIGHWAY STAR - Deep Purple
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just some of the main bits from Highway Star by Deep Purple. Some Bass bits,
Organ bits, I'm not too sure. Ritchie Blackmore uses the Rhythm Pickup on his Strat and if
you want you can also finger-pick. Enjoy! :)
P.S. Where there are a lot of 3s on the Low E, I might be wrong, I can't really be
bothered counting them yet but you get the picture. Also, they're Palm Muted!
