Sweet City Woman - The Stampeders
Tabbed by Adam Bishop
Thanks to the people from the Sympatico Forums who helped out with this!
The G-G5-Am-Aadd9-G-Gadd9 chord progression is played by a 6-string
banjo, tuned like a normal guitar. It sounds pretty much the same on an
acoustic guitar. You should be able to tell which riffs are played by
that guitar, and which are played by the electric guitar.

Verse 1 (with Riff 1)
Well I'm on my way to the city life

Oh it feels so good to know she waits at the end of the line

And she'll sing in the evening, some familiar tunes
And she feeds me love and tenderness and maccaroons

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 STAMPEDERS 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.
