Transcribed and tabbed by Jared White ([email protected]) and John Kean ([email protected]) Tuning: Standard (Cockburn tunes all strings down one semitone) Timing: 4/4 with the odd tricky bit... Notes : This tune needs swing! Measures 41 & 42 are real finger-busters. If anyone has other suggestions, please Email us. It's fairly easy to simplify if necessary. Bracketed notes are optional. Feedback appreciated. Enjoy!!
