Green Spandex Chords by Xavier Rudd, www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com
For those who want to try a different version to the tab already here, this is
the way I play
it. For the lyrics and structure of the song I have the author of the previous
tab to thank,
all I've done is changed a few of the chords, and added a couple of bits and pi
eces.
There are something like 4 different recordings of this song, so as always use
this as a guide
and play it how you think it should be played, the number of recordings might b
e the reason
why this differs from the other version here, dont know which one I think Im pl
aying, it
may be a fusion of a few, and of course it aint perfect ;)
Intro: (not exact, fiddle with it as you wish) This is in the Live In Canada,
and the EP
version, not in Solace or Good Spirit, but I like it :)

Dunno if the last bit is hammer-ons and pull-offs or not, just do what you want
.
The verse has the progression D, G, C, D 3 times.
The first D of each progression should include the hammer-on as in the very beg
inning of the
intro,
eg
|2--
|3--
|0h2
|0--
|---

the last D should end with something simmilar to the very last bit of the intro
.
