ROTARY ELEVEN (B-side to "Losing My Religion")


This has sort of a "swing feel"--it's in 12/8. I'm going to transcribe it in
4/4 because I feel like it. If you have no idea what I mean, listen to the
tape.

Stupid Notational Things:
\_/ = tie        h  = hammer-on
X  = tenth fret    p  = pull-off
E MajorE  = eleventh fret   s/ = slide up
T  = twelfth fret
