Song: The Free Electric Band Artist: Albert Hammond Composers: Albert Hammond & Mike Hazlewood Album: The Free Electric band Tabbed by DJ (’DiddyD’ on ultimateGuitar.com) 24th July 2013 C  = x32010    F   = 133211 G  = 320033    G7  = 323003 or 320001                G/B = x20033 * = No chords tap beat on guitar body The C4 is only implied by the vocal melody and is not crucial but it adds a little more interest on a single guitar. On those lines where I have the C4 the bass plays an upward progression So as another option you could play all those bars as below        instead of the C4 as a little walk up on the 4th string: / = xx0xxx   / = xx2xxx |  /  /  / /__/ |  /  /  /  /  | Please select a star rating for this tab many thanks ========================================================================== [Intro] ||:  /  /  /  /__/  |  /  /  /  / :|| [x2] [Verse 1] My father is a doctor he’s a family man My mother works for chari - ty when - ever she can And they’re both good clean Americans who a - bide by the law And they both stick up for liber - ty and they both support the war!
