Here she is: Intro and verse: ***************** e---------------------------------------------------| B---12------12h13-15--12-13p12-------------------18-| G-12--12-14---------12---------14-16h17-19-16h17----| D---------------------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------| Add little hammers\pulls slides as you please to avoid monotony, and this tune is a joy to play. Newer guys may find it easier to play the part in *s like this: e----------------13-| B-12h13-15-12h13----| And the rest of the tune like so: G F Look for a while at the China Cat Sunflower, G F Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun. G F Copper domed bodhi drip a silver kimono, F G F Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dreamlike wind. G F Crazy cat peeking through a lace bandana, F F Like a one eyed chesire like a diamond eyed jack. F G F A leaf of all colors plays a golden stringed fiddle, F G F To a double "e" waterfall over my back. G F Comic book colors on a violin river, F G F Crying Leonardo words from out a silk trombone. F G F I rang the silent bell beneath a shower of pearls, F G F In the eagle winged palace of the queen, chinese(?) --All barred chords, A and E form really, have fun!
