I generally play acoustic and alone so this tab will best represent me and
my one guitar. I will list the fills where they belong in the song and
then they will all be tabbed towards the bottom of the tab.
This is my own interpretation of the song 'American' by the Wild Feathers.
Play intro (below) twice.

EB
In the garden, sunlight painted skin
EB (Fill 1)
Country back roads never see again
EF#
West coast sunset, Blue jeans broken in
ChorusEBEB
American, I've been away for way too long
EBEB
American, I only miss you when I'm gone.
EB (Fill 2)
Halfway home and still I can't forget
EF#
Melodies were ringing in our head
EBEB
American, I've been away for way too long
EBEB
American, I only miss you when I'm gone.
F#G#mAE
And I'm not saying I'd never roam
F#G#mAE
But if I ever leave again I'll come home.
Played over slow part (not quite sure about the rhythm picking in the
background)

Carry you with me in a song

This is pretty rough. Please help me fill in the that second solo and
the background picking. I have an idea for the background picking but
not quite sure.
Hope it helps though.
