Cest La Vie by Emerson Lake And Palmer

           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
           Greg Lake: C'est La Vie
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Transcription by:  Rainer Boettchers ([email protected])
           Paderborn/Germany, July 1996

Tuning:       DADGBE (DropD)

Comments:      I've tried my very best but sometimes it is nearly
           unpossible to identify the guitar on this track.
           Greg plays some additional harmonics and open octave
           chords, add them if you like.
           When a chord is used the first time I try to
           name it (I hope my guitar teacher doesn't read the
           results ...). Some chords are really unusual and some
           are not even real chords. That's Greg's style.
           I did not write down the complete song but only the
           main theme and bridge which are repeated over and over
           again.
           THIS SONG ALSO AVAILABLE IN TABESTRY FORMAT (.TBS)
