I've seen many people try to tab Cold As Ice but I've yet to see someone attempt to tab
solo, let alone write out the chords in the right key. The chord progression is fairly
I'll write out the chords on the record as soon as I figure them out, they dont sound too difficult.

I've listened to the record and the scale is definately an Ab Blues scale. This is
a transcription so there's probably going to be errors. Mick Jones does the hammer
ons and offs fairly fast on this but I'm quite sure this is pretty accurate. The
last set of hammers starting at the 12th fret is the spot I had the most rouble
because I think Mick another guitar line over it playing something much higher up
the fretboard, therefore making the notes of the main lead line slightly diffiuclt
to pick out. Anyhow I hope this helps and keep on rockin'!
