Shambala - Three Dog Night
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: loversinner
I couldn't find a good picking tab for this song so I decided to figure it out and tab it myself.
It might not be 100% but it sounds pretty good.
EDIT: After tabbing this out and submitting it I noticed there is another one up that I missed that is
pretty good. I'll leave this one up though in case someone prefers it.
Tuning: Standard
