 Ok, well the beginning riff and rythm of Aqalung is fairly easy to

figure out, and the acoustic part in the middle isn't really hard

either, but the solo is a bit difficult, I got the first few bars down

to what I think is right, but I'm going to post all of what I know,

and since just about every guitarist in the world knows this song, I

would appreciate it if you would post your versions of parts to the

song if they are different than the ones here, especially the solo.

So, this isn't really a request for the song I just want to know how

other people play it.



Opening riff:

   "Sitting on the park bench..."

e:-

B:-

G:-

D:-

A:--5--------3--4~--3--------

E:-----3--6------------------



Verse rythm section: (play 3 string power chords)



"Eyeing little girls with bad intent..."

Db Db Db Eb Eb Eb F F F Eb F Eb F Gb Db



"Hey, Aqalung"

Eb Eb Eb Db Gb Gb E B D



I'm pretty sure everyone can do without tab here



Acoustic Part (Slow):



"Sun streaking cold, an old man..."

Gm Gm   F F F F  C C   Cm Cm   Gm Gm   F F F F



Here occasionally hammer the 2nd and 3rd frets on the G string

while playing the F chords.



Acoustic Part (Faster):



"I still remember..."

Gm     F F F    F    Gm Gm Gm



"Taking time the only time he knows..."

Gm Gm  F F F F   Cm Cm Gm Gm  F F F F



And here is 1st part of the solo:
