Byrds, Tulsa County Tabs

Tulsa County       P.Polland

>From the Byrds-Ballad of Easy Rider LP

Clarence White did some great stringbender licks on this tune. The
actual recording is in E but I wrote it in D because that's the key I
can sing it in. I'll Tab out the lead when I get a chance...for now I
just tabbed out the intro. The leads and fills do somewhat follow the
intro somewhat but contain a little more action on the 5th position D
sus/D/D6  and seventh position G7/G moves.
Intro:

All 2nd string bends done with Stringbender
8b10 means hit 8, pull to 10 with bender....(5) means fret at 5 with
bender already engaged.. 
(0)r0 meaning engage bender..hit 2nd string open,,,then release the
bender as the note chimes

D                    A               G              A
My Nights have been lonely  since I Been in Tulsa County

  G                  A7               D
I really don't know what I'm going to do

D                   A               G                  A
I just might take a trip somewhere along the southern border

G                    A7            D
But I know I gotta get away from you


CHORUS
	   G      D
I don't know
	         G    D
Just where I'll go
		  A             G G/F# A
But I think I'll ride it down to Mexico



Got your note in Charleston, said you needed my assistance
When I got there, you didn't need me then
I may not be a wise man but I know this life you're leading
You learned your tricks from lots of other men

CHORUS

BREAK   D     A     G     A     G    A7      D   X2
