TAKE ME
-Oasis-
Lyrics: Liam Gallagher
Music: Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs
A very early demo song, recorded somewhere around 1992, before the band
was signed. Not available on any studio album, you might find it on rare
bootlegs such as "The Lost Tapes". You could also try to download it.

(NOTE: There are a lot of different guitar parts in this song, so you might
have a hard time knowing what is what in this tab. To make it easier to
navigate, I have written the lyrics between the parts. You should be able
to work it out without too much trouble. Good luck!)
Tab key:
h = hammer on
b = bend
r = release bend
\ = slide down
This is the main rhythm riff Bonehead plays through the whole song:

This song is amazing! It's a shame they don't re-record it and release it
on a longplayer studio album. Try hard to get this rare masterpiece! It's
well worth the struggle.
Enjoy!
