Flirtin' With Disaster
Molly Hatchet
INTRO: play the 6th string open & the 5th string on the 7th fret
at the same time, continually, in a hard up & down motion.
I've written this in small increments to make it easily
understood.
h=hammer r=rake(pull-off) /=slide up \=slide down v=vibrate b=bend

2nd verse:
Speedin' down the fast lane, playin' from town to town.
The boys and I've been burnin' it up,
can't seem to slow it down.
I've got the pedal to the floor
Our lives are runnin' faster
Got our sights set straight ahead
Flirtin' with disaster.
