Subject: TAB: Great Dream From Heaven (Joseph Spence)
keithr5165@aol.com (KeithR5165) posted Ry Cooder's lovely arrangement
of "Great Dream From Heaven." I thought I'd follow up with the tab that
I have for the song, as well as the lyrics.
The song was written by Joseph Spence, the legendary guitarist from the
Bahamas. Spence played gospel music with a unique style that bears
close study.
I got this tablature from my guitar teacher, John Lumsdaine.
