America - Ventura highway

America - Ventura Highway Tabbed by Baddguitar Here is an easier version of Ventura Highway. When America plays this song live, they use 3 acoustic guitars. One for the Riff melody, one the Riff harmony and the third for the chords. This arrangement is for one guitar. Using a capo on the 2nd fret will allow the player to play the song in the correct key but offers some easier open chords to play. The main Riff is a bit easier since it includes open strings. To keep it simple, the riff harmony is not played. Listen to the song to get the palm-muted timing on the chord strumming. Standard Tuning. Capo = 2 Main Riff/Intro: Fmaj7(strum) Cmaj7(strum) |--3h5p3----------------0-0-------3h5p3-----------------0-0------ |-------5--3h5p3-0--0h1---1-------------5--3h5p3-0--0h1---0------ |-------------------------2-------------------------------0------ |-------------------------3-------------------------------2------ |---------------------------------------------------------3------ |---------------------------------------------------------------- End of Verse Fill: |-12---10---7--|-5---3-0--| |-13---12---9--|-6---5-1--| |--------------|----------| |--------------|----------| |--------------|----------| |--------------|----------| {Verse 1] Fmaj7 Cmaj7 [Riff] Chewin' on a piece of grass walkin' down the road Fmaj7 Cmaj7 [Riff] tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
