Crazy mama, where you been so long Crazy mama, where you been so long You been hidin' out, you know that's true Crazy mama, I sure need you ....... / Fig 2 / Fig 3 (x3) / Fig 4/ ==> verse 2 Crazy mama, where you been so long 2. Standin' on a corner lookin' for you babe Standin' on a corner lookin' for you babe Lord have mercy can I see Crazy mama comin' back to me Crazy mama, where you been so long SOLO: I usually play it after verse two, and then end the song by repeating the first verse. Remember, the following symbols replace a dash (1/16 in the notation) so don't assume that 0h2 takes 2/16 to play; it takes 3/16. h - hammer p - pull off s - slide s - above the tab: slide up to that note (grace note) b - above the tab: bend up to that note (ghost note) P.S. I broke up the the upper strings at the end of each bar to make it even again with the bass, so it's easier to see what's going on without counting dashes.
