Song - Smoke On The Water
Band - Deep Purple
Drummer - Ian Paice
Tabbed By - Vacuumboy15 (jokke_666hore@hotmail.com)
Time - 4/4


I've seen the live version, and I saw Ian play the hihat stuff with
alternate sticking (rlrlrl...) in the main measures, but of course,
theres a difference between live and studio version. Anyways, this
is how I play it.

Some places i had to note some beats as triplets because of accents and
stuff, but other places, the "t" means triplets.

S|--tto---| means S|---oooo-----|
  1 + 2 +           1  +  2  +

It took me really long time to tab this song, thats why i some places
may have forgotten some details, like to gradually open the hihats,
or play some ghost notes. but folks, try tabbing this yourself..
i admire the one who can get this 100 % right.



Intro on guitar, keep silent for 8 measures.
