'Tennessee (I Get Low)' by Manic Street Preachers 
E|-------------------------------------------------| 


from the B side of the Suicide Alley single (1988)
Tab by James Glover (Sebadonut)

Tuning - The guitars are in standard tuning but it sounds as though they are ever so slightly 
sharp on the
recording (not much more than 1/4 step) so tune up a little if youre playing along.

I like to continue playing the root notes for the bass part. If you dont want to, just hit the A
 chord and
wait for the solo to start.
