These are the tabs to "I Need Ground" from Peter Frampton's new album "Now".
This is my first attempt at tabbing out a song, but I am 99.9% sure that this
is right. The only thing I'm not sure about is the solo, but I usually just
improvise there anyways. If anybody could tab out the solo, that would be
a great help.
