Go Your Own Way
by: Fleetwood Mac
from: Rumours (originally)
this version from: The Dance
transcribed by: Kevin League (mleague@mindspring.com)
I think this song has been posted before, but I
haven't used any of those tabs. I figured this out all by myself.
There are 2 guitar parts in this song: Lindsey and a rhythm guitarist(who,
if you look closely is off to the back of the stage). I'll transcribe both.
Lindsey's chords:
F5:133XXX
C5:X355XX
Bb5:X133XX
Dm:X5776X
Rhythm guitarists chords:
capo VIII (all chords relative to capo)
A:X02220
Asus2:X02200
E:022100
D:XX0232
Dsus2:XX0230
F#m:244222
L=Lindsey
R=rhythm (During the verse, the rhythm alternates between Asus2 and A
quickly and does likewise w/Dsus2 and D. I'll call these riffs D* and A*.
Verse 1:
L: F5 C5 Bb5
R: A* E D*
Lovin' you isn't the right thing to do. How can I ever change
L: F5 F5 C5 Bb5
R: A A* E D*
things that I feel? If I could, baby I'd give you my world. How
L: F5
R: A
can I when you won't take it from me?
Chorus:
L: Dm Bb5 C5 Dm Bb5 C5
R: F#m D E F#m D E
You can go your own way. (Go your own way.) You can call it another
L: Dm Bb5 C5
R: F#m D E
lonely day. You can go your own way. (Go your own way.)
Verse 2:(same pattern as verse 1)
Tell me why everything turned around.
Packing up shacking up is all you wanna do.
If I could, baby, I'd give you my world.
Open up, everything's waiting for you.

That's about it. Again, you'll need to listen to the cd for timing.
There might be a few notes that I left out, but he goes into some fast
hammer ons that would be VERY tedious to tab out, but I'm sure you'll be
able to figure them out. Remember, Lindsey plays w/his fingernail and not
a pick, so use yer fingernails to get some of the squeals and harmonics he
gets. Have fun!
