Red Red Wine

[Rambo]

Does anyone know how to post tabs without losing the formatting of an ASCII text file? I'm using Courier, which is a fixed-width font, but I still lose the spacing I put between the chord changes to signify when to play them.

Post comments, corrections, or just tell me what you think.

Red Red Wine by the Replacements
Transcription by Rambo

Tuning: Open A or Open G with a capo on the 2nd fret

Notes:

1. After looking at many set lists, I'm very sure this song in in Open A. While it's
possible to play it in standard tuning, it's much easier to do all the slides and
fills in Open A. I usually just fake it with Open G and a capo on the 2nd fret.
2. Overall, the song is very sloppy and just playing around what's listed here should do
the trick.
3. The solo is not hard at all. In fact, the hardest thing for me about it is keeping
the highest string in tune; I usually just don't tune it down (for Open G) and drop the
highest note in the double stop down 2 frets to play it like it would be in standard tuning.
