Tabbed by: Curt Lewis
E-mail: TLewis95@aol.com
Artist - Cheap Trick
Song - Downed
Album - Budokan (1978)
Bassist - Tom Peterson
Tuning - Standard EADG
This was tabbed to the live 1978 'Budokon' version but works fine with the
'In Color' album version as well. The main difference with the album is a slightly more simple
chorus and a fade out instead of the DCBA#D ending that I have down here. This is
one of my favorite songs and I just got in the mood to tab it out tonight. Just listen
to the song for the real timing (it is pretty easy) but I tried to space the notes out
in a similar way to the timing and orders of the parts are at the bottom. Enjoy!
