Greg Lake: C'est La Vie
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Transcription by: Rainer Boettchers (boettchers.pad@sni.de)
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)
