*** Please note that this tab is in the key of "Ab" which is what the song is in.
However, Thin Lizzy tuned their instruments up 1/2 step so as to effectively
play in the key of "A".
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 4/4
*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
durations.
