Sun King tab by The Beatles

Tabs

Title:   Sun King
Composer: Lennon/McCartney
Artist:  The Beatles
Album:   Abbey Road

Here is my take on this tune from Abbey Road. It's all my own work. I
know that it is actually a Bass and Guitar, so this tab mixes in some of
both. I play it with some chorus and reverb.
