Ain't nobody feels like goin' home

Play refrain here then main riff 4 times again

Song finishes off with a solo around the first 3 frets based on the riffs 
from the verses....you should figure that out...

"Let freedom ring"

"Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still"
"Oh Lady Moonshine down, a little people magic if you will"

This tab was created with the help of an Amiga computer and the sampling
software Audiomaster IV, under the menu effects/duration/pitch the
frequency and the pitch can be doubled, thus enabling the program to play
back the sample at half the speed but with the original pitch.

Enjoy!
