______________________________________________________________________
That's it! I hope you like this song... It has the cool Egyptian sound
that "Come Out and Play" had, but better. This is my first attempt ever
to tab a song and I think I did pretty damn good. Just listen carefully
to the lead. I have it pretty close. Just improvise! Good luck.
