Artist: Thin Lizzy
Song: Jailbreak
Tabber: Neptune
Tuning: All guitars half step down.
Key:
h - hammer on
p - pull off
pfb or phf - pre full bend or pre half bend.
fb - bend string up
hb - half string bend up
b - micro tone bend...or 1/4 bend up.
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
pm---¬ - palm mute with pick hand.
This song is pretty simple to play. There's 3 guitars. GUitars 1 and 2 play the
same thing for some odd reason, probably to boost the sound up. Guitar 3 plays
all the fills you here with wah wah and the high notes in the chorus.
I've put the timing and the bars and its in 4/4 time. So, grab a watch and you'll
know when to play/sing. On the chorus, sometimes the bars don't fit because some
of the high notes take alot of tab space...but they're meant to be parallel.
I'm tabbing all of it, so decide when you want to come in with the fills. The
fills are in brackets, and when playing the main song, skip the fill until it
says above the verse. Though most of its repeats, i'm going to just copy and
paste, so just follow the page down. Have fun!!!

To night there's gonna be a jail break, somewhere in this town.
See, me and the boys-we don't like it, so we're gettin up n' go'in down.
Hid-in' low, lookin right to left, If you see us comin' i think its best.
to move away, Do you hear what i say, from un-der my breath?

To night there's gonna be trouble-- Some of us won't survive.
See, the boys and me mean business. Bustin' out dead or alive.
I can hear hound dogs on my trail. All hell breaks loose alarms and sirens wail
Like a game, if you lose Go to jail!!!!!
