A great song. Most of the chord are correct, but the solo sax should be researched some more, it's a bit obscure to me, but maybe I'l find it, or better: one of my better-playing friends would find it for me. Generaly: There is a basic chord sequence in every verse, which is a bit longer on the 3rd verse. There is also a second sequence in the sax solo. Some of the lyrics typed here were based on Guido Hogan's TEX File - Thanx! If I'll have the time I'll tab the complete solo sax - for guitar... Yuck!

Repeat the sax solo chords, then again repeat the chord sequence of a verse - with the sax playing, and end with the solo chords once more.} Have fun! (A rather jolly song about a painful subject, but still enjoyable!) Bye Ofir ofirz1@ccsg.tau.ac.il
