It features an high ener- getic and fine rhythmed vocal part, a long, long solo nearly all over it's second half, and at least busy 195bpm. I transcribed the vocal part, the bridge, and about the half of Rorys solo in the end (up to 4:00 on my CD-player). During the chorus and the bridge sometimes the beats, I usually note above the tab, are missing. This is just because I didn't know how to note the syncopes correctly. But as there are not too much notes it should be clear how to place them inside the bar. Just listen to the recording. The whole song is to play in a fast swing rythm, which is to remark especially for the not in swing measure noted solo. I hope you have fun with this... *************************************************************** This TAB transcription was created using TAB MASTER version 1.0
