SONG: SURFER KING ARTIST: A.A. BONDY VIDEO: https://youtu.be/bGqGSfr09dY TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: GUITARZAN7@HOTMAIL.COM NOTE: The song may not be in standard tuning. However, i made a chord tab for it that way. ALso, I did the INTRO the way I hear it. Feel free to improvise with hammer ons and pull offs. This however sounds really good to me and is a simplified version and is easy to follow.
