The Wind Cries Mary Guitar Tablature
I have been playing for almost 20 years now and have just discovered tab
recently.  Althought I have trouble mapping some things out, I am slowly
getting better. The reason for this post is that it seems there is not
alot of tabs in this echo. So maybe to get the ball rolling I offer the
following tab. If anybody has a tab program that can be used with
bluewave please tell me. I have never seen any tab programs, if I had a
way of making these very fast I would post a new tab every day or so.
Thanks and enjoy.
