                             Take A Back Road - Rodney Atkins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Country Bass
E-mail: aaron.white8@education.nsw.gov.au

Tuning: Standard

I've tabbed this song how it is played on version from the 'Take A Back Road' album. If
the tab gets
confusing the song is simply just D, A, G, A. So if the tab's confusing just listen to the
song for the
parts where it stops and go with the groove.


bass comes in after the short guitar intro
