"Somebody Told You" by TNT Song : Somebody Told You Album : Firefly Tuning : A half step lower (all strings) Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) This song is really cool! But hard to play! Riffs are simple, but fingering is tough. I'm sorry but it's hard to follow this tab during guitar solo because of too many notes Ronni plays. And the outro guitar solo is not transcribed. Enjoy!
