Neil Diamond – Shilo (Guitar Tab)

Here's Shilo from Neil Diamond. It's from my big sister's original Bang Records single. When I was a little kid, I worshipped Neil Diamond. My sister bought a ton of albums and singles in the late late sixties and early seventies, so this stuff is in my blood. I also want to mention that I think the totally undefinable Neil Diamond is still great. Granted, orchestrated slow ballads make my skin crawl, but he could/can kick and rock. ************************************************ So, here's my formal invitation to Neil Diamond to come up here to Minneapolis and do an unplugged or semi-plugged thing at 1st Ave. (If you need a second guitarist, send me mail). ************************************************ SHILO Neil Diamond Intro:
