I think that there are two electric guitars in this one. I'm going to show you the chords - you can take it from there. Be sure to visit my tab page in order to understand how I write tablature on the web.

THE CHORDS:
 
B7 ditty...
(GUITAR/BASS INTRO)
 
B7
some folks go to the motel and some folks go to the brush
 
and some folks go for that funky thing and some folks go for the rush
 
C7
but I thought we had a real love filled with a common trust
 
till your love slipped and I got hip now nothing ain't like it was
 
and we're traveling on
 
F7
thin ice, baby
 
thin ice, baby
 
we're traveling on
 
thin ice, baby,
 
thin ice
 
C7
(HARP SOLO)
 
B7
(GUITAR SOLO)
 
 

I'm giving up living that nightlife I'm giving up walking the street
 
 
I'm giving up waiting for sunrise and the high-heeled sound of your feet
 
C7
and you said we had a rare wine with a taste so bittersweet
 
 
but that's all wrong our good thing's gone it ain't like it used to be
 
 
and we're traveling on
 
F7
thin ice, baby
 
thin ice, baby
 
yeah we're traveling on
 
thin ice, baby
 
(no chord)
thin ice
 
F7
thin ice, baby
 
oh yeah, we're traveling on
 
thin ice, baby,
 
and ooh, we're traveling on
 
thin ice, baby,
 
and we're traveling on,
 
thin ice, baby
 
and we're traveling on,
 
thin ice, baby
 
aah we're traveling on,
 
thin ice, baby
 
aah we're traveling on,
 
thin ice, baby
