Subject: TAB: SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD BY AMANDA MARSHALL
SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD -- Amanda Marshall
Written by: Amanda Marshall, Copyright Metatune Inc. (SOCAN)
This is a pretty simple but effective tune from Amanda's first release
entitled Amanda Marshall. Rhythm guitar pattern is quite common and played
pretty much throughout. I've included some tablature for the lead guitar
riff as well (used in the intro and a few places as well). What really
makes the tune is Amanda's vocal phrasing. I've tried to match the chord
changes to the way she phrases the lyrics but don't let that throw you--the
the rhythm guitar part is pretty steady and consistent throughout the
entire
tune. Comments most welcome at kirkjc@ccnet.com, enjoy...Kirk C.
