I'm looking for any GUITAR tabs for Holy Joe, since it seems the only ones I can find online are for bass.

Thanks in advance guys. :)
 
by 'a sec' i mean maybe a few days :shifty:



i know how to play it. . . it would be so much easier to show you (i hate writing out tabs :mad: :angry: )
 
haha... well, sorry for putting you through that trouble buddy. still lovin' the Smile tab you put up awhile ago though. :)

Take your precious time if you have too though. I can be a patient guy.

Holy Joe---Garage Mix

Here's a first try at this song. Help out with any errors, please.
Problems might be in the notation of when to strike string and when to slide.
Another definite problem is lyrics.

E* E* Chorus 1

Chorus 2:
There is a lead layer in the chorus which can be played over the E*,B.
We'll show it here in Chorus 2 (it is played in chorus 1). It is very
reminiscent of "Paint it Black".
It is played entirely on the b string.

The rest of the song resembles the non-slide chorus fingerings.
During the slide part you should have played:
Chorus 5
Chorus 6
Chorus 7
Then Non-slide:
Chorus 8
Chorus 9
Chorus 10

The Imperfect Holy Joe

Holy Joe
from: Fenian1917@aol.com

I think Holy Joe is a great song to use as a foundation to a much more
complicated version. There is a lot you can do with it. I hope this is some
help for someone out there.

The song's chords are as follow:

B B B B xxxx D D DDD (for D chord bar 7th fret)

I, I am a humble guy
no, really, I try
you know its hard sometimes

You, yah you missed love too
but love is gonna get through
(pre-chorus chords)....working my way into you

G#....................A.......................B

Once the chorus starts the chords drop a little lower:

come on........................., come on..................be good to me

E G
B
