Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) (With Solo)
Steve Harley/Cockney Rebel

Notes : Guitar Solo :

I Tabbed this out, since in my opinion it's a really integral part of the
song, it just doesn't sound right with an improvised part here :)

This is a pretty close approximation of the acoustic solo in the song.
The 'Dots' in bars 10 and 16 (.........) represent the fast (16ths I think)
Picking on the note before the dots.

The solo comes in from a pause in the music - hence the 'no chord'
First bar (though it's an 'implied' G in the pause)

The slashes between notes suggest slides/hammers/pulls, / is up, \is down.

(I've 'abbreviated' the lyrics to save space, and they're already
 available on this site anyways)
