    Here are the lyrics (before I get to the solo)
     
  • / Fig 1 (x15) .......
    Crazy mama, where you been so long
     
  • Crazy mama, where you been so long
     
    You been hidin' out, you know that's true
  •  
    Crazy mama, I sure need you
    ....... / Fig 2 / Fig 3 (x3) / Fig 4/ ==>
  • verse 2
    Crazy mama, where you been so long
     
  •  
    2. Standin' on a corner lookin' for you babe
    Standin' on a corner lookin' for you babe
  • Lord have mercy can I see
    Crazy mama comin' back to me
    Crazy mama, where you been so long
  •  
    SOLO: I usually play it after verse two, and then end the song by
    repeating the first verse.
  •  
     
    Remember, the following symbols replace a dash (1/16 in the notation) so
  • don't assume that 0h2 takes 2/16 to play; it takes 3/16.
     
    h - hammer
  • p - pull off
    s - slide
     
  • s - above the tab: slide up to that note (grace note)
    b - above the tab: bend up to that note (ghost note)
     
  •  
    P.S. I broke up the the upper strings at the end of each bar to make it
    even again with the bass, so it's easier to see what's going on without
  • counting
    dashes.
