Subject: TAB: AC/DC - Down Payment Blues
Hey! My first tab.
I saw a request for this tune a little while back, and
thought I would contribute to this newsgroup since I've been
pulling tab from it for quite some time... keep up the great
work guys!
Since this is my first attempt at tabulation, I would
appreciate any comments, criticisms and/or style pointers.
"Powerage" is my favorite AC/DC albums, and if anyone wants
I'll tab some of the other songs I know, including "Riff Raff"
and "Gone Shooting" (great tune!).
I would also appreciate if someone would post the extro
to this song (the bluesy riff right at the end). I've included
part of it with this tab, but it probably needs some work.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official AC/DC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
