I Need Ground

Peter Frampton

Tom: G

This is my first attempt at tabbing out a song, but I am 99.9% sure that this
is right.  The only thing I'm not sure about is the solo, but I usually just
improvise there anyways.  If anybody could tab out the solo, that would be
a great help.

Album: Now

4 measures of drums, then:
