 <br/>
 This is the chord pattern and riff as I vaguely remember it from the album "<br/>
 Live and Dangerous" ....<br/>
 <br/>
 The chord pattern is as follows :<br/>
 <br/>
 G#   Cm   Fm   F D#<br/>
 <br/>
 These are all barre chords (as I play it), on the following frets <br/>
 respectively ...  4, 3, 1, 8, 6<br/>
 <br/>
 (Now, since this comes from memory, the last two chords [F & D#] may <br/>
 actually by D# and C#, but I doubt it - try it with the song and see how it <br/>
 turns out)<br/>
 <br/>
 The riff is played simultaneously by two guitars (an octave apart) to give <br/>
 that distinctive Thin Lizzy sound that has been copied by so many bands (<br/>
 such as Iron Maidon) [don't flame me, I don't really know who first came up <br/>
 with this sound]<br/>
 <br/>
 I have only tabbed the higher riff - work out the lower one yourself - if I <br/>
 remember rightly, it can be played around a C# power chord :<br/>
 <br/>
    C# power chord = e X<br/>
 B X<br/>
 G X<br/>
 D 6<br/>
 A 4<br/>
 E X<br/>
 <br/>
 This TAB transcription was created using TAB MASTER version 1.0<br/>
 <br/>
           (4)                   (3)                  (1)         (8)(6)<br/>
           G#                    Cm                   Fm           F  D#<br/>

 <br/>
 The chord pattern is shown following the riff, with the frets to barre shown <br/>
 above the chord, in brackets.<br/>
 The last 10 on the A string at the end of the tab may actually be an 11 if <br/>
 my memory is foggy - try it out and correct as necessary. I'll post an <br/>
 updated and corrected version of this song when I've checked my records at <br/>
 home. I will also post some other Thin Lizzy stuff shortly.<br/>

 I always played this with the guitar down a semitone, and using the<br/>
 sequence A E F#m E D.<br/>
 <br/>
 Nice to see a Thin Lizzy TAB here, though.  Brian Downey, last I heard,<br/>
 was still gigging in Slattery's Bar in Capel Street, Dublin, with<br/>
 a band called Spirit Nation, and still doing Lizzy stuff.  Any<br/>
 updates???<br/>
