NOTE TO THE ARCHIVIST : You have sent me back this file because it did
not include the lyrics. Indeed, I had just forgotten to put them. So
here they are at the end of my first file.
Band : EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER
Song : STILL YOU TURN ME ON ...
Album : Brain salad surgery, Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Tabbed by : Raphaël Chaize, student in Nice, France
As I have promised it to you, here is the tabbed "Still you turn me on",
a song written by Greg Lake for ELP. I have transcripted here the
version of the album "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" for it was easier
to transcribe since Greg sang it only with the guitar, whereas the
guitar is not easily audible in "Brain Salad Surgery", due to Emerson's
surrounding organs.
The guitar is tuned as following : D-A-D-G-B-E
