Artist: Sting Song: Moon Over Bourbon Street Additions: This is a tab of a rare recording as seen in Jools Holland's BBC documentary ''Walking to New Orleans''.

Another differce with the record version is the fact that this acoustic version only contains 2 verses. And the fact that it is played in a completly differend key. This also seams to be a regular jazz pattern. And last but not least I like to thank L. Venderbosch for helping me out with some parts of the song. Cheers and enjoy! |
