The James Bond Theme (Dr. No Soundtrack)
Written by Monty Norman, arranged by John Barry

Yes! Another tab of the James Bond theme. I've attempted to make this the most complete
straightforward version, providing tabbed notes for all the riffs played by the
orchestra, not just the guitar. Combine this with a few of the other more guitar-centric 
tabs here (the 14-year-old who did version #5 under 'Misc Television' has some good adaptations),
and you should have a fantastic version arranged for a couple of guitarists.
