String of Pearls Soul Asylum
Subject: tab_Soul Asylum_String_of_Pearls<br/> Date: Sat, 16 Sep 1995 00:54:08 -0400 (EDT)<br/> <br/> <br/> String of Pearls<br/> Soul Asylum<br/> Let Your Dim Light Shine<br/> <br/> This is a funky cyclical kinda song, that's also pretty simple to play. <br/> Strum with a 1 1-2-3-1 rhythm (listen to the cd and you'll get it easy).<br/> I like to play the first "E" in the series in open voicing, and the <br/> second as a barre chord, for variety's sake. This is my first posting, <br/> so bear with me.
