Thats how its gotta be

[mjw666]

Last night I was listening to Free so Free and After I finished listening and taken in the all that freedom nonsense I had ‘thats how its gotta be’ stuck in my head. So I was sitting on my bed doodling around on my accoustic guitar and managed to come up with this main part of the song. It sounds near enough but is probably wrong to a technical guitar expert unlike myself.
What do you guys think?. Any corrections?

There are supposed to be more notes played in the chord and the last three notes sound good but is wrong because I’m stupid.

hey mjw666, thanks for posting the tab

as all the Dino/J tabs have been figured out by guitar playing fans, it’s good to have different ideas of how to play the songs for comparison.

Irish Whip has put up another tab for this song on his band’s site:
If That’s How Its Gotta Be

the link you posted is correct with the fill that comes after this . the only thing that wrong is the last chord i think ive got it right on this one.

I think you nailed it. That sounds more like it when I played it.
