Jerry Was a Race Car Driver

Album: Sailing The Seas Of Cheese

Guitar transcribed by CAM.


Like in American Life, this song 
uses volume alot for the
car sounds. I'll mark increased 
volume like this: v>
Play along with the song to know 
when to play verse,
chorus and intro riff. Good luck 
with the solo!


h =hammer on
p =pull off
b =bend string up
/ =slide up
\ =slide down
v =vibrato
x =muted string strike
w =whammy

then use your whammy bar to

Then to a chorus, an intro riff, car

play this to the drum beat 4 times:

Finally, a bridge to end the song.
That's about it.
