I'm sure there's a thread on tab for this song somewhere, but it's late and I don't want to search...
I came across this on a disc in the garage tonight and thought I'd share:

Get back to the coast, back to the coast
You’re gonna make it real far
So get back to the coast, back to the coast

Re: Back to the Coast
You're very welcome... I always loved that song. It's funny that I have wanted to play it for so long - I got pretty close on my own - only to find that piece tabbed out in, like, 2003 and on a data disc in my closet since then. RR.TK was incredible back in those days, everyday it seemed that something new surfaced.

Re: Back to the Coast
Okay, so I sat and listened to the original recording from the first Quiet Riot record and the above transcription is just not right.
Up to the solo it should be more like this:

It's late, so I'll check out the solo tomorrow and then work out the jam at the end...
