Tablature is mostly (but not exclusively) seen for reticulate stringed instruments, in which environment it is commonly titled journalism for brief (except for lute tablature).
It is ofttimes utilised for the guitar, bass, lute, archlute, theorbo, angélique, mandora, gallichon, and vihuela, but in generalisation it crapper be utilised for some reticulate instrument, including ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and viola da gamba, as substantially as some liberated wood aerophones much as the harmonica.

written and performed by John Fogerty

tabbed by Rob Keister <rkeister@compuserve.com>
(lyrics and most chords are from the .CRD file by 
Collins Crapo <roxtar@srv.net>

intro:
|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|-5-7-7b(8)-5-----------------|-5-7-7b(8)-(8)-b(8)7-5-----------------|
|-------------7--0-----7---7--|-----------------------7--0-----7---7--|
|------------------3-0---0----|----------------------------3-0---0----|

          E7
He take-a thunder from the mountain
          G
He take-a lightnin' from the sky
             A
He bring the strong man to his beggin' knees
            E7
He make the young girl's mama cry

CHORUS:
           E7
You got to hidey-hide
           G
You got to jump and run
           A
You got to hidey-hidey-hide
    C       D             E7
The old man   is down the road

Verse 2:
He got the voices speakin' riddles
He got eyes as black as coal
He got a suitcase covered with rattlesnake hide
And he stands right in the road

(chorus, with "away" added to end of 2nd line)

(instrumental, same pattern as chorus)

Verse 3:
He make the river call your lover
He make the barking of the hound
Put a shadow 'cross the window
When the old man comes around

(chorus; this time, add "again" to end of 2nd line
   and sing 4th line twice)


there's alot of this:

|----16----16-16---16-16\---------------|
|---------------------------------------|  ---(mute this string)
|-/16---16------16----------------------|
|---------------------------b(8)7--5----|
|------------------------------------7--|
|---------------------------------------|

and this bass run:

|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|-2-2-2-2-0------------------|
|-----------2-0--------------|
|---------------0------------|

I'm still working on this one:

|----------------------------------|
|---b2(2.5)---------b2(2.5)--------|
|---b2(2.5)-0-----0-b2(2.5)-0------|
|-2-----------2---------------2----|
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|


You may not be able to play all these parts by yourself; I know I can't.  
Fogerty MUST have had multiple guitars/tracks doing them (that's my story and 
I'm sticking with it).

Tab notes:

--8b(9)--  play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach the
             pitch of fret nine
--b(9)8--  play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine,
             releasing until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight
-8b(8.5)-  play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach the
             pitch a half note higher than the normal pitch of fret eight
---15\---  play fret 15, slide down (the ending fret of the slide is
             undefined, judge by ear)
