Band: Mountain
Song: Mississippi Queen

In this tab i may have written some timing wrong but if
you know the song well enough you should get it right.
If you get stuck or find it wrong email me
the rest is 100% correct. My mates band played it at a gig 
and it sounded like the original so thats how sure i am.

Solos
The solo is played by when there is no singing so if you are
in a band the singer should solo and the other guitarist should
play rhythm
the solo is a piece of piss easy aswell and if u cock it up
just improvise a it is mostly around the minor pentatonic scale apart from th
intro solo which you shoule play correct as it is a key element to the songs structure.
i have just written out the solo so you will have to listen the song to 
know the timing

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jesse Professional	#1 by Jesse Garcia at Jan 4, 1970 at 12:51 AM EST
	I've always thought it was about the singer losing his virginity to an older woman. She taught him everything: I don't think he's talking about algebra.

No Picture Cory Wanna Be	#2 by Cory at Nov 22, 1981 at 10:41 AM EST
	Pretty good song, one of Mountains best, if not THE best. They almost sound like Lynard Skynard in this one. Oh, and Ozzy sucks so don't say that. I'm not even a hardcore Mountain fan, and I know that.

No Picture Colin Wanna Be	#3 by Colin Gauld at Jun 23, 1995 at 12:16 AM EST
	ozzy isn't bad, but even though he had leslie west playing guitar on his version of this song, it was just horrible. this is not the kind of music that ozzys voice was meant sing.

No Picture Sam Wanna Be	#4 by Sam Payne at Jun 9, 1998 at 9:26 AM EST
	"that's how a white man plays guitar."

No Picture Cohen Wanna Be	#5 by Cohen B at Aug 30, 2001 at 10:35 AM EST
	According to Corky Laing, the writer of 'Mississippi Queen': Back in August of '69, we were playing at a funky beach club called 30 Acres. It was the hottest summer ever in Nantucket, and one night the power blew [out] across the entire island! ... A buddy of mine had a girlfriend with him at the club who was visiting from Mississippi. She had on a see-through dress -- I can still remember this; she was amazing! Look, there were also Dexedrine in my system, and I was on overdrive. I looked at this beautiful girl and began screaming this song, 'cause there was no power.
