Jerry Doucette's debut album Mama Let Him Play (1977) was an unqualified succes, quickly reaching platinum status in Canada. Interest was generated outside of Canada as he toured behind the album, opening for acts such as Eddie Money, Meatloaf, and Bob Welch. Singles from the disc included the title track, "All I Wanna Do", and the song whose Intro is tabbed here, "Down the Road", the album's opening track.
The video below of Doucette playing the song was helpful in getting the opening rhythm part of the Intro down. The tab is of the studio version of the song (linked to below), so the lead part is tabbed differently from the way it's played in the video. On the studio version, I'm pretty sure it's separate guitars playing the harmonized lead lines.
