Route 66 Lyrics

http://tabwyp.free.fr
By Bobby Troup / Chuck Berry / Rolling Stones
Originally a jazz tune about the mythic US route written by Bobby Troup
after WWII, it was turned into Rock'n'Roll by Chuck Berry in the fifties and
covered by many among which the Rolling Stones in their first LP.
The version that is tabbed here below is this Rolling Stones' version.
You can hear an audio demo of what is tabbed at the URL here above.
You can also download a MP3 playback track at the same URL above.
Three guitars are tabbed :
A rhythm guitar - the solo guitar.
The bass is tabbed also in UG.
Everything is of course very classical here.
LEGEND :
h : hammer-on
p : pull-off

XbY : bend at the X fret until it sounds like Y ( X < Y )
