I Don't Want To Go

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "(I DON'T WANT TO GO TO) CHELSEA" off LP "This Year's model" (1978)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Les Gibson

Tuning: Standard

Two guitars in this. "Guitar 2" is actually a keyboard synthesiser, but coz
it sounds like a guitar, I tabbed it anyway. Sometimes the part is too low to
play on guitar, so I moved it up an octave for your playing pleasure :P...


--Intro: Main riff:
