Dear Mister Fantasy by Traffic ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEAR MR. FANTASY - Traffic (Steve Winwood) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:BOBTHEWEAZEL Email:captain-jesus@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard Difficulty: Advanced-If Playing Arpeggios Note For Note Intermediate-If Playing Chords Or Your Own Arpeggios NOTE: Times Are Approximate. NOTE: There Are A Lot Of 1/4 Bends, So If I Just Put 'b' (eg 5b), Just Bend A Quarter Step. Otherwise, I'll Say Which Note To Bend To. NOTE: I'm Gonna Tab The Arpeggios In The Intro Only As That Takes Too Damn Long. After That, I'm Just Giving Chords. You Can See From The Intro The Sort Of Stuff He Does.
