WITH AN EAR TO THE GROUND YOU CAN MAKE IT
As recorded by Caravan
Words and Music by Pye Hastings
Transcribed by Jeremy Diringer (dwarfmuncher(at)gmail.com)
This isn't a strict note-for-note transcription; that can be found in the Powertab version
(available at: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/caravan/
with_an_ear_to_the_ground_you_can_make_it_power_tab.htm)
Rather, this is more like a chord sheet that also features riffs and solos.
[Part I: With an Ear to the Ground]
1,3: AWould you like to ride with me, while you're Ewaiting for the band to come?
2: You and I are all we need, waiting for the band to come,
ACome tell me all you'd like to see, while you're Ewaiting for the band to come
Searching for someone to see, and hoping that the band will come
