Re: New HELP Please!!!!!

Hello Thanasis and welcome to chordie - There are two files indexed for "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks.  The file you are looking at is a tab file for the lead guitar part (which is a very rhythmic and repetitive riff that runs throughout the song).


A tab file just shows which strings and frets to play - usually for a lead or solo part.  In this particular case, the tab file is probably not very helpful (unless you have a friend who can play that guitar part while you thrash out the chords and sing).


The other file in the index is probably what you want since it has the lyrics and the chords.  Focus your attention of the file that has the chords to learn the song.


As always, just because somebody created a version of a song for the internet it does not mean that the version is accurate.  Chords can be misplaced or incorrrect.  Lyrics can be incorrect or incomplete.  Trust your ears more than any song version you may find - hope this helps.
