• Song:

    Basils Kite

  • Artist:

    Capn Jazz

ok, i reckon that i am the second person to ever tab a Cap'n Jazz song, the first 
being dittohead123, but i think this is a pretty accurate tab of Basil's Kite i hope you enjoy 
:D

by the way, Cap'n Jazz kick arse and this song is in my opinion one of their best 
and lyrically

tabbed by: atdi4eva

standard tuning (Eadgbe)

(rhythm is interpreted freely)

(NOTE!!: at the start of the song there is an extra bar almost like an annicrucis, so 
more like x9 rather than x8)
