Title: Oh Pretty Woman
Album: Born Under a Bad Sign
I have not made any attempt to show the timing of the various parts, as
this would be way too difficult, but here is the main riff, all the fills
and solos, and the lyrics to this song, as well as I can figure them out.
Listen to the record for the timing because that is what makes this song so
great. The main riff has a funky pause in it, so listen especially for
that.
