" Cuckoo Cocoon "
              by Genesis
       From ' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway '

TABLATURE: By Jeff Nicolaus ([email protected]) Sept 3, 1997.

TUNING: Standard

ARRANGEMENT: Taken off studio version. The guitars are mellow and
    effects laden. The intro and regular verse seem to have
    been recorded using a 'Travis' style of finger picking,
    where the thumb is alternating. This version is a little
    more syncopated and more to my liking.
       I will also include an 'optional' more aggressive
    style of picking for comparison.

    Time signature : 4/4
