Norman Greenbaum Chords & Tabs

Version: 4 Type: Tab

Spirit In The Sky Tab

   
Based on Daniel C B's Tab, but using chords that would more than
likely have been used on the actual song. The chords in parentheses
are muted, sounds better on accoustic than releasing. Play the ones
in parentheses a bit faster, I am not so sure, don't have my guitar with
me so I can't check it out.

Naturally, this is a just a guide/example, kinda how I play it, it's all
about feeling. Also, this is my first tab, it's probably inaccurate
in a number of ways, just use your common sense.
