This was how I learned this song, so if I made any mistakes that you notice, contact me
mccay46@comcast.net. Make the subject, "To Mat about Rock This Town Tab."
For anyone who knows about tempo, Fast a quarter note = 198
only worry about this if you want to play it with a metronome.
This is the Intro and you are supposed to play it twice.

I hope you enjoyed using my tab, and I was glad to share it. Rate it if you want, send
or errors to mccay46@comcast.net. Again make the subject, "To Mat about Rock This Town
If it sounds strange at first, it might just be how in tune you are. I know that one
the earlier parts sounds kind of weird.
P.S.- Please don't rip off this tab. Its my first one and it took me more than two
to make.
Thanks
