PRETTY MARY K 3/4 TIME!!! intro/riff: B------------8/10--12/14--10------ G-6-7/9--11--0-0---0--0---0------------ D-0-0-0--0---0-0---0--0---0---------------- A-0-0-0--0---------------------------- **i'm almost 100% positive that this is not right b/c those open strings don't sound quite right...but the "6 7/9 11 8/10 12/14 10" is accurate i think. i would encourage anyone to supply the correct tab for this riff if they've figured it out or saw elliott play it live or whatever...** verse 1: (the :||: stuff means play each measure twice!)
