DANDY IN THE UNDERWORLD – T. Rex
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Sergio A. Valdes
Email: sergiovaldes1989@yahoo.com
Tuning: Standard
This is the first tab I post, and it sounds 100% accurate, but it is my interpretation of
the song. I had found another tab of this song on another website, but it was horribly tabbed
so I went out and listened to the song and tabbed it myself. The x’s in between power
are for you to stop the chord from playing (listen to the song). I can’t tell if there is
another guitar strumming the chords, so I included them anyway. Let the chorus chords ring.
Thanks to AZlyrics.com for the lyrics. Please, leave comments or e-mail me about the tab
or just to comment on the tab, it’ll help me out in the future when I tab stuff. Thank you.
Marc Bolan rules!

Verse 3:
At an old eighteen, exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms, of a mythical Oz
Distraction he wanted, to destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks the ancient mansions of Hell

Dandy, in the underworld
