Guns For Hire - AC/DC
A.Young, M.Young, B.Johnson
From the album Flick of The Switch 

I've seen this song tabbed on several sites, and it allways seems to have been copied
from Clemens Fehlow. Who (I believe) has the main riff wrong. So i tabbed it myself.

Feel free to put this tab on your webstie or whatever, just keep my name on it. 

It's a great song thats fun to play, and as with most AC/DC songs its easy.
