This is a fairly easy one. If you haven't bought the CD yet, then do so!
It's a classic...
It's rumoured that John Fogerty once said:
"A good rock'n'roll album should have a great title, at least one hit song (Texts of songs ) and one great guitar riff"

Song finishes off with a solo around the first 3 frets based on the riffs
from the verses....you should figure that out...
"Let freedom ring"
"Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still"
"Oh Lady Moonshine down, a little people magic if you will"
This tab was created with the help of an Amiga computer and the sampling
software Audiomaster IV, under the menu effects/duration/pitch the
frequency and the pitch can be doubled, thus enabling the program to play
back the sample at half the speed but with the original pitch.
