Oogie Boogies Song tab by Tiger Army

Tabs

Band: Tiger Army
Album: Nightmare Revisited
Tuning: Standard

Alright guys. The final Tiger Army song that has been
released. This was recorded as a bonus track for the
"Nightmare Revisited" compilation. I thought they
performed it really well. If anyone could cover this song,
it's definitely Tiger Army since they named their latest album
after a line spoken in The Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland which
also sponsors Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm about 90% sure
on this tab. Some parts in the chorus were a little unclear
due to the piano. Blah Blah right?
Easy song to play here. Strums not exact. Let's go!!

Game. Set. Match. That's it guys. Every Tiger Army
song that has been released is available to learn. If I'm
missing one, please let me know but I doubt it. thanks to all
the Tiger Army fans who viewed and/or rated my tabs. really appreciate it
I hear Nick 13 should be coming out with a solo album. You know I'll get
the jump on tabbing that out =). In the mean time, I'm not done yet!!
I'll be tabbing out more songs for other bands like Reverend Horton Heat,
Koffin Kats, Quakes, and other "billy" style bands. Look out for them!
Have fun!!!
