Song:Fela?s Cock
Tabbed by Greenie 12


I think this song is played with a slight chorus...to get that
bright clean sound....anyway, I?ve been working on this one
for a while and this is the newer version...I think its? kind of close,
but if you have any corrections you could allways make new
version...or if somebody maybe could figure out the bass
part it would be great. I?m pretty shure this song is in the
key of G

Instead of playing the G on the 10th fret on the A-string, you could
play the G on 5th fret on the D-string if you think that sounds better.

I don?t know if you should play the the notes on the A and D-string
in this part, but I think it sounds good both ways.

Sometimes it ends with the G9 chord and sometimes not...but anyway
go back to Fig.1 and palm-mute after this bit wich I called Fig.3

Last thing is:
