Looked around online and haven't found any Tabs for the song Tops. It seems that most Tab sites have many errors. I have a basic idea how to play it but I don't know if it's entirely correct. Anybody know the real tabs for Tops?

Meredith, how are you? Haven´t heard from you since...1969?

my lyric book says

Bb and Cm7 to Coda
then Eb and Ab in the Chorus

I have the guitar tab book for TATTOO YOU entitled "Tattoo you (guitar recorded versions)" - just great and very accurate

Open-G tuning.

That Tattoo You tab book is hard to find. Where'd you get it, FUC?

Agreed that online tabs are full of errors. Also, they are usually not complete tabs, but just the basic riff, or, as TooTough has given us, just the chords.

Got that one at the local guitar store...
Send me your address and I'll copy the pages of "Tops" for you.

It's in Open G? Is a capo needed?

Yes it's in open G, the intro riff goes like this:

(needs to be viewed in monotype face, e. e. Courier)

-----------|----3-----3--3---------|--
-------5s7s|-5-----------------5s7s|-5

Second guitar is in standard tuning.

Great! What about the chords during the verse and chorus? Are they Bb, Cm7 and Eb, Ab as mentioned earlier in this thread? Seems to be a different key (don't have my guitar handy to test it).

intro
|Cm7____|_______|_______|______|

verse
|Bb_____|Cm_____|Bb_____|Cm____|
|Bb_____|Cm_____|Bb_____|Cm____|

pre-chorus (Have you ever heard)
|Dm_____|Eb_____|Ab/Eb__|Eb_Bb_|
|Dm_____|Eb_____|Ab/Eb__|Eb____|

chorus (I'll take you to the top)
|Bb_____|Cm_____|Bb_____|Cm____|
etc

In fact you need the tabs... but I think you get the idea.

just to add to the captain's post, the "dont let the world pass you by" bridge part is Bb to Eb..
