Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
It's come to my attention that when you play the intro to this literally from most of the other tabs,
it sounds wrong. Instead of picking the 'G' string separately after the very first bit, the 'E' and 'G' strings should be picked together, to give a more resounding sound. I've tabbed the solos as well. Enjoy!
Am G F G
