Takin Care of Business - Bachman Turner Overdrive

Tabbed by: MichaelMurrayGuitar.com

Tuning: Standard

I have tabbed out the three main solos. There is some lead guitar during the
verses and chorus at the end but those solos can be improvised (try the
c-minor pentatonic at the 8th fret) or removed entirely.


Notes:

| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
| b or bu bend up
| bd bend down
| rb reverse bend
