TUSH - Girlschool

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Gibbons/Hill/Beard

Album: "Screaming Blue Murder" (1982, Solid Gold Records)

Tabbed by: Anne Drury (zerofret)

Email: [email protected]

Notes:

-this tab is of Girlschool's 2nd recording of "Tush", the version with

Kim McAuliffe on vocals -- the song appeared on "Screaming

Blue Murder" in North America (but not in the UK)

-key of G - guitar solos are mostly in G pentatonic minor

-bar lines do indicate timing

-I'm not convinced I have the main guitar part for the verses tabbed

entirely correctly - I checked against 3 different video versions of

the song (the promo and 2 concert versions) and couldn't decide

definitively if I had it right or not - not sure if those single notes

at the beginning of each measure should be a single note or maybe (same

as the rhythm guitar part), a 5th chord - use your own judgment :)

INTRO:

Play Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 parts together

Gtr 1 - play 2x
