                          "Strange Death in Paradise"
                         (B. Dickinson / A. Dickson)

     Guitar transcription by Jeremy Haines (haines@powered.cs.yale.edu)


[ Watch for the subtle variations throughout the song.  Also, things get a bit messy toward the end... ]
[ the bass plays in the same range as the guitar and sounds similar, so I may have accidentally tabbed ]
[ some of that in here.  Nevertheless, this should be a reasonable approximation...  - JH              ]

6/8 time, ~120 bpm.  Drop only the bottom string to D.

(let ring)
