Life Force (NES) 1986
Triple Core Boss
The song is technically called "Aircraft Carrier"
Tabbed by iloveamanda12

Such a great game. One of my all-time favorites! Typically, of NES and 8-bit games,
it has great and extremely catchy music, too.

This can't be played on a guitar unless you're willing to go with a heavier gauge
string and tuning up quite a bit. I certainly don't recommend that. It can be adapted
for a keyboard though. I'll also include a version of the intro that's transposed down
an octave for guitar. Enjoy the final song to this amazingly fun and addictive classic.

This section repeats infintely

Note: I didn't transpose this down an octave because a guitar is capable of
      these notes. If you want it to maintain the sound of the guitar intro,
      simply play these notes an octave lower.
