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)
