The Coast Was Always Clear Tabs

(ver. 1)
Johnny Foreigner
(Intro)

All the way up to the slow bit. Will tab the outro another day.
No need to be a perfectionist, it sounds good messy, so don't worry about hitting 
the last couple of strings open.
I love this song, hope you enjoy the tab, please rate!

Unstandard tuning: EADABC#
