Rodeo Clowns Guitar Tablature
b=bend  /=slide  h=hammer  p=pull off

As with most of Jack's songs, the chord progression is pretty much the
same throughout the whole song. For the verse it follows the progression below
   
   C#min  F#   A    G#
e--4------2----5----4--
B--5------2----5----4--
G--6------3----6----5--
D--6------4----7----6--
A--4------4----7----6--
E---------2----5----4--

For the chorus it switches the F# and G# around

Verse (Play each chord for a full measure):  C#min, F#, A, G#

Chorus (Play each chord for half a measure): C#min, G#, A, F#


Near the end of the song in the G-Love version the song breaks
out into the solo. The first guitar plays the verse while the other
plays the lick below.

  C#min             F#                  A                  G#
e----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------4---4----------------------------------4---4-6b---4------
D-----2-4-4/6---6---64-2-------2-4-2--------2-4-4/6---6----------6-4--
A---4---------------------4-2-4------------4---------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------

After playing that twice through the first guitar stops for a measure and
the second guitar plays the lick below

e---------------
B---------------
G------------0--
D------2-4-4-4b-
A--4-4----------
E---------------

Right after that guitar 1 plays the chorus while guitar 2 plays what is 
below. Instead of playing on the 8th fret on the B string I always play
on the 7th fret and bend it up to that note
 
         C#min    G#      A        F# 
e------------------------------------
B----5-5-8-7-5--------5-5-8--7-5-7-5-
G--6--6--------6----6--6-------------
D------------------------------------
A------------------------------------
E------------------------------------
