Song Title: Mother Africa

Album: Welcome
Tab by JC Rea(jcrp_21@hotmail.com)
Symbols:
p=pull-off
()=let ring
Tuning: Standard
It's a little difficult to know if the melody is played with an organ or with a
strange guitar effect. Anyway, it sounds good with a guitar, and that's why I decided to tab it out.
