I coundn’t find a tab for ‘in the city’ so I decided to tab it myself.
The main cord progression is (G D A E). That is the intro and the verses and the
rythme for the first solo. Now I know what you are thinking, you are thinking
«this is just like all of the other cool songs that I want to learn, the geek who tabbed this is not going to include the lead parts». but that is where you are wrong. I stayed up really late last night so that I could get both of the guitar parts, because I am just like you, I want to learn the lead parts to because «why learn a Joe Walsh song if you are not gonna learn his guitar part?»
