Guitar Tab for Down Rodeo
From: Ryan from Utah
Standard Tuning
Notation:
b=bend
r=return
h=hammer-on
I think that's all you'll need for this song.
Chorus/Intro fig.
e------------------------------|------------------------------ B------------------------------|------------------------------ G--2b4r2-----------------------|----x-x--2b4r2--x-x-x---x--x-x D--------3---------------------|----x-x---------x-x-x---x--x-x A------------------------------|----x-x---------x-x-x---x--x-x E-----------2-2-0-2-0-2-3-2-0--|0h2-x-x---------x-x-x---x--x-x

(end fig., repeat)
When you make the transition from this figure to the next, eliminate the
part I set aside that looks like new bar.
Next fig.
e-------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------------------- D-(2)(4)-x--x-x(2)(4)-x--x-x----------------------- A--2--4--x--x-x-2--4--x--x-x----------------------- E--0--2--x--x-x-0--2--x--x-x-----------------------

(over and over again)
This is played while another guitar comes in and rubs the pick across
one of the lower-note strings. I think. After all, Tom does some
pretty weird, but cool, things when he plays.....
("The rungs torn from the ladder..." fig.)
e----------------------| B----------------------| G----------------------| D--12-12-12-12-12-12-12| A--12-12-12-12-12-12-12| E--10-10-10-10-10-10-10|

|____________________|
(palm mute)
(repeat 2 bars)
"Just a Quiet, peaceful dance" fig.
e------------------------------------ B------------------------------------ G------------------------------------ D--14-----14-----14-----14----------- A--14-----14-----14-----14----------- E--12--0--12--0--12--0--12--0--------

(then go back to the "rungs" fig., play it
once, and repeat that whole loop)
Verse:
e--0----2----------------| B-------------0----2-----| G------------------------| D------------------------| A------------------------| E------------------------|

(repeat throughout verse)
The last part is just Tom playing a high "F" on the "D" string's 14 fret
to a regular pattern. Or maybe it's on the "B" string's 14 fret, I
can't remember which. It's easy to figure out. Then the final chord is
just this.....
