   Time signatures used in this song: 4/4, 8/4, 2/4, 6/8, 12/8. For most beginners they
mostly use the time signature 4/4 in all their songs. This song isn't like that the
way. Another major time signature this song uses is 6/8 time. It means you could six 
per measure, instead of the regular four. The time signature 8/4 is just 4/4, but each beat
is in quarter notes, not half notes that is in 4/4. So it's basically 4/4, but doubled. 
thing goes for 12/8 time. It's just double 6/8 time. 2/4 time just counts two beats per 
Any further questions, just email me, I'll get you back in no time. Email is at the top.

   These are the rather complicated looking tabs for the song 'Growing Pains' by Deas
from their new CD, Birds and Cages. Sorry I couldn't get the lyrics in with it... As
the times work, if you play along with the song, you'll get it all worked out. I tried 
make everything as simple as possible. Thanks for reading, and good luck on the song.
