Blue Collar Man Long Nights Solo


Author/Artist: Styx Title: Blue Collar Man (Long Nights) Solo Album: Pieces of Eight Transcribed by: J. Chitty Email: 08jchidester@davis.k12.ut.us There's a couple of good tabs for this song, but they don't have the solo. The guitar solo is such a great one though, so I decided to tab it out.
