AC/DC
Shot Down In Flames
Young/Young/Scott
Tabbed by: Dylan Cooke
None of the tabs were the way I played this song so I decided to tab it
I have watched this video (the one from the family jewels DVD, where Angus
blows up at the end) millions of times and I quite certain that
This is how Angus plays it
This is the exact progression of the song
<<<<< = Pick Scrape upwards
h = Hammer On

Then there is a little solo at the end witch you can get
From another tab
At the very end there is the chord that AC/DC ends
Lots of their songs with, witch is
E Chord
