The Doors - Alabama Songby
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
__________________________
This is a really fun song to play and not too difficult except for
some of the harpsichord bits which are almost impossible to tab.
You'll need: some horns, a harpsichord, some keyboards, a mandolin,
a full set of drums, a guitar (hey, you might have that one already!).
email corrections etc... to f.maquet@ic.ac.uk
