As far as I can tell this is accurate tab for the guitar part, all you need is someone with a sitar to play the accompaniment and you're set. You'll probably have to finger pick it, I know I do. As for the timing, I've written it in 6/8, it seems to fit best, though there's a good chance I'm wrong. Anyway, enjoy. Tuning: Open D D A D G A D (from low to high) Tab Notation: H - natural harmonic / - slide up \ - slide down h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend r - release bend = - let the note ring ^ - hammer on or pull off the note above, had no room for the h/p Musical Notation: || || || || |. [some tab here] .| - repeat the section in between |. .| || || || || % - sign @ - coda D.S. al Coda - Go back to the place in the song where there is a sign(%) above the tab. Play everything until you reach the coda(@) then skip to the end of the song playing from the second coda to the end. /3\ - Triplet 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6
