/ Thin Lizzy / Vagabonds of the Western World (1973) / Rocker guitar tab

Tabbed By: Dan-the-man
Tuning: standard

I Hope you like my first tab. It is one of lizzy's best songs and is so underrated. I
can't believe no-one has tabbed it. This is for all you rockers and for for PHIL LYNOTT
a truly dedicated man. God rest his soul.
ENJOY!!!
