There you go. It isn't exact, but I think it's close. At the very least it should give you a place to start.

----------------------- Are you gonna go my way - as performed by Lenny Kravitz on MTV acoustic ----------------------- Acoustic version from: jafro@max.hint.no (Jan Frode Haugseth) This is my first tab ever, so please bear with me. I think i got the strumming quite right, and the vertical lines. I have only heard this song twice or so, so you can't expect me to get the pull-offs or slides quite right. But it sounds cool when you play it this way. You can, of course, do your own variations, when it comes to the pulloffs and strummings, because mine are not the same as Kravitz' anyway. And, I would like to get feedback on this tab, since it is my first one, and I would like to hear if you did get it right. Yeah, and I will dedicate this to my girlfriend, Ingrid Elise :). Or is that wrong? Tip: This song really rule if you have two guitars, and can get some other human being to play the b part of the verse riffs. The notification I used: X = Mute string with left hand finger p = pull off (using left hand finger) b = bend / = slide up Ok, here goes (this simple version kicks ass much more than that original):D Opening riff, + beginning lines of the song, first 4 times then 5 times with vocals
E5 E5 E5 A G A E/Ae|--------------------|--------------|B|--------------------|--------------|G|--1---1-1---1-1---2p|-0-2-/9-------|D|--2---2-2---2-2-----|-----/9-------|A|--2---2-2---2-2-----|--------------|E|--0---0-0---0-0-----|--------------|
This riff for: 1st verse 2nd verse I was born I don't know why long ago we always cry I am the chosen I'm the one This we must leave and get undone I have come We must engage to save the day and rearrange Then this one once:
E E E A G A E5 F5 F#5 G5e|--------------------|-------0-0-0--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3|B|--------------------|-------0-0-0--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3|G|--1---1-1---1-1---2-|-0-2---1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3--4-4-4|D|--2---2-2---2-2-----|-------2-2-2--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5|A|--2---2-2---2-2-----|-------2-2-2--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5|E|--0---0-0---0-0-----|-------0-0-0--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3| |----4/1speed increase----|
And I won't leave until I'm done And get this planet back to one
Then this twice: G5 G5 G5 D A D Ge|--------------------|--------------|B|--------------------|--------------|G|--4---4-4---4-4---5-|-2-5-/12------|D|--5---5-5---5-5-----|-----/12------|A|--5---5-5---5-5-----|--------------|E|--3---3-3---3-3-----|--------------|

You've got to breathe - And kill each other - and have some fun one by one
This twice: E5 E5 E5 A G A E/Ae|--------------------|--------------B|--------------------|--------------G|--1---1-1---1-1---2-|-0-2-/9-------D|--2---2-2---2-2-----|-----/9-------A|--2---2-2---2-2-----|--------------E|--0---0-0---0-0-----|--------------
Though I'm not paid - We've got to love - I play this game and rub-a-dub
This once: E E E A G A E5 F5 F#5 G5e|-------------------|-------0-0-0--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3|B|-------------------|-------0-0-0--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3|G|-1---1-1---1-1---2-|-0-2---1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3--4-4-4|D|-2---2-2---2-2-----|-------2-2-2--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5|A|-2---2-2---2-2-----|-------2-2-2--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5|E|-0---0-0---0-0-----|-------0-0-0--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3| |----4/1speed increase----|
And I won't stop until I'm done We've got to dance and be in love
Then chorus once: G5 F#5 F5 Ee|--------------------|-------------------|-------------0-----B|--------------------|-------------------|-------------0-----G|--4---4-4---4-4---4-|-4---4-3---3-3---3-|-2---2-2---2-X-----D|--5---5-5---5-5---5-|-5---5-4---4-4---4-|-3---3-3---3-2-----A|--5---5-5---5-5---5-|-5---5-4---4-4---4-|-3---3-3---3-2-----E|--3---3-3---3-3---3-|-3---3-2---2-2---2-|-1---1-1---1-0----- Let e & B ring here!
But what I really want to know is Are you gonna go my way
Then maybe this four times or so: E5 E5 E5 A G A E/Ae|----------------------|-------------B|----------------------|-------------G|--1---1-1---1-1---2bp-|-0-2-/9------D|--2---2-2---2-2-------|-----/9------A|--2---2-2---2-2-------|-------------E|--0---0-0---0-0-------|-------------
