Hello I'm Nick and I love this song so I tabbed it out. It is very accurate.
This is off Ten Years Afters Album Cricklewood Green.
The Begining just starts out with Alvin Lee playing the intro which goes like this.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|6-7-9-/11---6-7-9-7-6---4-6-7-6-4---2-4-0-2--------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|0-0-0--0----0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0--------------------------------|
The Bass comes in on the second time around and Leo Lyons just hits the notes which are:
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|/7--\5--\4--/7-9-5-7-------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Right Before the Chorus Alvin stays on an E chord for 4 measures.
Then for the chorus it goes:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/ten-years-after/74924.html ]
e|5--5--5--5---3--3--3--3---0--0--0-------------------------------------|
B|5--5--5--5---3--3--3--3---0--0--0-------------------------------------|
G|6--6--6--6---4--4--4--4---1--1--1-------------------------------------|
D|7--7--7--7---5--5--5--5---2--2--2---2p0-------------------------------|
A|7--7--7--7---5--5--5--5---2--2--2-------2p0---------------------------|
E|5--5--5--5---3--3--3--3---0--0--0-----------3b0-----------------------|
Right after the Chorus Alvin goes back and fourth with chick churchill the keyboardist
the parts go something like this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|9-7-6-4-2----9p8-9-7p6-7-6p4-6-4-2-1-1-------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|0-0-0-0-0------------------------------------------------------------------|
So it does that for maybe 3 or 4 times then back to the E chord for 8 measures this time
the coolest part in the song:
e|0-0-0-0---2-2-2-2----0-0-0-0------------------------------------|
B|0-0-0-0---3-3-3-3----2-2-2-2------------------------------------|
G|1-1-1-1---2-2-2-2----2-2-2-2------------------------------------|
D|2-2-2-2---0-0-0-0----2-2-2-2------------------------------------|
A|2-2-2-2--------------0-0-0-0------------------------------------|
E|0-0-0-0---------------------------------------------------------|
Then it just repeats that and the solo comes in which is obviously in the key of E.
Also if I could recommend there is an amazing live version of this song on Ten Years
Live At The Fillmore East its great.
