t . rex – planet queen

from the “electric warrior” album .

the other tab for this i think has some errors; i’ve played this one along and think
as close to 100% accurate as you’re going to get .
fun song to play , sounds great with a bongo player .
the key to it sounding right is the 7ths with the high E string fretted as diagrammed below .
listen to the record for the rhythm . and to rock out .

chords used :

E : 022100
A7 : x02223
B7 : x24445
F#m : 244222

intro :
E
just the first two strings , hammering from 2 to 4 on the a string .
listen to the record for the rhythm . very similar to the “get it on” intro .
