Artist - Kula Shaker
Track - Govinda
Tabbed by - David G
Only just recently got into them but always known Mills was a great guitarist, theres
only a few parts in this and its not too difficult, if you want the chords for the verses
and chorus then look at the other efforts (recommend that if your playing it on your own
or something on an acoustic, but basically its what i've tabbed after 4:00 of the song),
but this is whats on the record and is more or less the correct way to play it, enjoy!
One other thing, this song has to be in drop d tuning due to the main riff (which incidently i
might not have timed perfectly on this transcription so just listen to the record and you'll
get it) in it so don't forget!

Might have fucked the start up a bit but i don't have a wah pedal handy, its close though,
listen to the record and you should see its about right. I've timed the parts so its easier
to understand.

After 4:00 he's just playing the 3 chords and making little licks up as he goes, i'll
just give you an example of the chord sequence then make your own stuff up in between,
work out the strumming pattern yourself, its easy enough!
