Artist: The Troggs
Song: Wild Thing
Tabbed by: John Leadman


   Every guitarist should know this song.
   Easy as hell, but sounds great.


   CHORDS:


   A (5776xx)
   D (x5777x)
   E (x7999x)





   INTRO:

   Starts with a strange bend. You bend the note on the 7th fret up, then
   you hit it, and release it back down. Listen to the song to hear what
   I mean.

   E|---------------|
   B|---------------| b = bend note
   G|--(7)b9r7------| r = release note
   D|---------------|
   A|---------------|
   E|---------------|

   Then the chords start, play the
   intro like this:

       A          D      E
   E|----------------------------------|
   B|-------------7-7----9-9-9-9--9-9--|
   G|--6--6---x-x-7-7--x-9-9-9-9--9-9--|
   D|--7--7---x-x-7-7--x-9-9-9-9--9-9--|
   A|--7--7---x-x-5-5--x-7-7-7-7--7-7--|
   E|--5--5----------------------------|



   The chords in the verses should be
   played something like this:

       A          D      E        D
   E|------------------------------------|
   B|-------------7-7----9-9------7-7----|
   G|--6--6---x-x-7-7--x-9-9--x-x-7-7-x--|
   D|--7--7---x-x-7-7--x-9-9--x-x-7-7-x--|
   A|--7--7---x-x-5-5--x-7-7--x-x-5-5-x--|
   E|--5--5------------------------------|
