Dog Of Two Head 1973


Let me guess.  You saw them last night and wanna learn this song.
Well as that is the most popular case, I will tab this as the modern line up play it live.
It is extremely similar to the '73 version however.

Francis: Standard Tuned Telecaster capo 5th fret
Rick:    Standard Tuned Telecaster
Rhino:   Standard Tuned Tanglewood Telecaster capo 5th fret
Andy:    Standard Tuned Washburn Semi

I'll do a bit of everyone's part so that you get the idea...

Francis:
E|---------------------|
B|---3---3---3---3---3-|
G|---------------------|
D|-0---0---0---0---0---|and so on...
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|


Then the band comes in

All of this is played under the Gm chords,
well at least for Rick and Andrew as Frame and Rhino do the solo.

D|-------3-0--------|
A|-----------0------|
E|------------------|


Gm                              F  Gm
Love it seems I just can't find
                                F  Gm
Love it seems I just can't find
D#                         D
Seems that I'm the one love
                    Gm
The one love left behind

Gm                                    F  Gm
I've searched it just won't come my way
                                      F  Gm
I've searched it just won't come my way
       D#                  D
It's love that I want now
                        Gm
So what more can I say


SOLO

Gm                       F  Gm
Women seem to pass me by
                         F  Gm
Women seem to pass me by
   D#                       D
If I could find the reason
                     Gm
I'd know the answer why


Gm                              F  Gm
Love it seems I just can't find
                                F  Gm
Love it seems I just can't find
D#                         D
Seems that I'm the one love
                    Gm
The one love left behind
