Palm Trees, Helicopters, and Gasoline By: Joe Bonamassa *Tuning (VERY IMPORTANT): from bottom to top, D A D D G D I am confident this tuning is right. I can play the whole song in it just fine and it great. However, take it with a grain of salt because I am only basing this off the You And recording. I don't have any videos, any live recordings, etc. and I have never seen him *Listen for strumming patterns. I purposely didn't write every single open string note in, but you can tell by listening that there are always open strings ringing (for example, in this opening passage). Just listen for the pattern and the tab will give you the actual notes. Since the song is so percussive it the accuracy of this tab. However, if there are any places you revise it. Thanks and enjoy!
