Wild Wild Life Talking Heads
<br/> <br/> Wild Wild Life by Talking Heads<br/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/> I grabbed John's (phys174@csc.canterbury.ac.nz) post from Nevada, listened to<br/> the disc, made corrections, and here is the result. This is how a bud of mine<br/> and I play it (two guitars). I included a rhythm and lead for each part, <br/> and the lyrics at the bottom (they may have errors). There really isn't a<br/> rhythm guitar on the album, so the rhythm part is sort of a combination of the<br/> bass and drums. There is timing below the tab (1 + 2 + etc), I hope it helps.<br/> If there are brackets around tab: [-2-3-], it means to repeat what's in the<br/> brackets. I hope somebody else likes this tune; thanks again to John for his<br/> original post.<br/> <br/> pete@pr.erau.edu<br/> <br/> Figure A (Intro and First Verse)<br/> Rhythm Lead<br/> E E<br/>
