OK....can't find a tab to the intro to this song by the Stray Cats anywhere.

Anyone have any ideas on how to play it?

Here's a clip of the master himself:

Here's a the first part of the intro...

E||------------------------------5-5-|------------------------------7-7-|
B||--5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---5-5-|--5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---7-7-|
G||--5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---6-6-|--5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---5p-0---7-7-|
D||-------7------7------7------7-7-7-|-------7------7------7------7-6-6-|
A||------------------------------7-7-|------------------------------7-7-|
E||------------------------------5-5-|----------------------------------|

I'll try to tab the Travis picking part if I get a chance.

adios

Awesome. Thanks. I can fake the Travis picking stuff...since my band has a banjo player and a mandolin...so it doesn't need to be right one....but the itro is key. Thanks again.

How do you get your tab so straight??

As you can see, mine is crooked.

Is it font style??

When you post it just make sure you select Courier New as the font and it should straighten out. I just copy/pasted yours and made it Courier and you can see how it straightens out.

Hey guys,

Great to see this tab here. I can certainly use it to get started.

By the way does anyone know what technique Brian uses on his live version of "Tear It Up?" I know it involves the bigsby and believe it stays on one chords but I haven't figured it out. I guess it sounds like a shuffle. Any ideas?
