"Closer to Free" by the Bodeans

This is a great tune. Thanks to Brendan for getting it started.
I just have a couple additions to fill in the holes.
The intro (from Joe Dirt Car) actually goes like this;
Start with a D cord shape, but also place your pinky finger on the
third fret of the high E string. Now move your index finger to the
second string, first fret. This allows you to play the entire lick
by simply lifting the appropriate fingers.
-----2--3--
--1-----3--
-----------
-----------
-----------
-----------
(Press down all the above as described)
Here's the lick.
-----3--------3--------2-----3--------------------------------------------
--------3--1-----1--------3-----1--3--------------------------------------
--0-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------4-----------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat 4 times, then go right into the G,C,D progression.
(Notice how your Ring and Pinky fingers are already in postion for the G)
The instrumental break goes like this.
(Again, start with a D cord shape, but move it up to the 7th fret)
Use your Pinky for the 1st string 8, and the stretch to 10.
--7--7-7--8--8--7--7--7--7--8--7--------7--7-7--8--8--7--7--7--7--8--7----
--8--8-8--8--8--8--10-10-8--8--8--------8--8-8--8--8--8--10-10-8--8--8----
--7--7-7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--------7--7-7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--7--7-7--8--8--7--7--7--7--8--7--------7--7-7--8--8--7--10-10-10---------
--8--8-8--8--8--8--10-10-8--8--8--------8--8-8--8--8--8--8--8--8----------
--7--7-7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--------7--7-7--7--7--7--7--7--7----------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The big finish is simply G,C,D Bar cords, medium distortion. Have fun!
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 BODEANS 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.
