                             Need you Tonight, 1987 - INXS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Eddy

Tuning:Std

It's a 3-part guitar song (ideal if you have a looper pedal etc)
Play part 1 for 4 bars, then loop/repeat;  then, add 2nd & 3rd parts, etc

Ideally, played on a F-Strat or tele etc, to get that classic clean 'jangly' sound.


Part/Guitar #1

Basically, a power chord/C5 on the bottom 3 strings for 3 'hard' downstrokes, followed 
by a descending riff on the top 2 strings (1st finger across e & B string on 8th 
fret, & use 3rd and 2nd fingers on top e string)
