Thatll Be The Day Chords & Tabs
Here's the tab for an old tune by Linda Ronstadt. I had to tab this out by ear for
an audition, so here's the lead fills for the whole song. Tab notation at the bottom.
To match the recording, capo the first fret. All tab is relative to the capo.
Intro riff is a basic rockabilly lick going from A5 to E5.
