NEIL YOUNG - AMBULANCE BLUES TABS

Tuning:

Ambulance Blues by Neil Young Tabbed by PlasmaXWisp Tuning: Standard Capo: 3rd fret For the first G chords of the lines, start from the low E string, and pick downwards, then hammer on the B string the third fret from the capo to pick up the melody (denoted *). On the following C chord, you must hammer on the same note (third fret, B string), play the regular C, then pull-off your index finger to let the B string ring open for a moment. There are various other hammer-ons and pull-offs in the song, that you just have to listen for, but those are the main ones. G * C Back in the old folky days
