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.

RUNNIN' BACK TO SASKATOON
The Guess Who

from the album "Live at the Paramount" (1972)

tabbed by John Will 9/21/98
sbw@sk.sympatico.ca

This is the live version from the ultimate hoser band (according to 
Geoff Pevere and Greig Dymond in Mondo Canuck: A Canadian Pop Culture
Odyssey). Tune down 1/2 step, as the key sounds a little closer to Ab,
at least on my old vinyl version from Best of The Guess Who Volume II.

Spoken intro:(over main riff) 
There's a province up in Canada that's right next door to ours...it's
called Saskatchewan. And in that province there's a small town where
nothing much ever happens called Saskatoon. This is a tune about that
town...it's called Runnin' Back to Saskatoon

(harmonica solo with main riff)

I been hangin' 'round gas stations
I been learnin' 'bout tires
I been talkin' to grease monkeys
I been workin' on cars

(main riff x2)
I been hangin' 'round grain elevators
I been learnin' 'bout food
I been talkin' to soil farmers
I been workin' on land

(chorus)

I been hangin' 'round camera stores
I been learnin' 'bout sights
I been talkin' to filmmakers
I been workin' on eyes

(chorus)
Sing!
(refrain)

*I suppose Saskatoon is "small" to a Winnipegger, although it would 
have been over 130,000 even when Burton rapped this, albeit to an 
American audience;so we'll forgive him.
