"The Coo Coo Bird" by The Be Good Tanyas
----------------------------------------
Tabbed by Stewart Houten
This song is basically Am and G, but with a prominent bass
melody. I think the bass follows
/ A / E G / A / C-B-C-B /
but if you aren't fortunate enough to be playing along with
a double bassist then I think the fingerpick below bears a
passing resemblance to the recorded version.
