James Bond Theme - Monty Norman
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: The Fwanksta
Email: the_fwankster@hotmail.com
Date: April 2009
Tuning: standard
The only parts of this tab that I'm still not completely sure are correct
are riff 6 and the naming for the final chord. If anyone has any
ideas feel free to email me and I'll try to make the appropriate
corrections. (Crediting the helpful emailer, of course.) I don't check
this email very often and I'm a busy undergraduate so I apologize if it
takes me awhile to respond or make the correction.
I have a video on youtube of me playing this exact transcription,
so feel free to check it out if you're having difficulty with timing, etc.:

Finally, this is my first tab so I apologize profusely if I've messed up or
broken tabbing protocol in the act of actually creating this document. It's
about the music, right?
