This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Calexico: Pepito (from 'A feast of wire')

===============================================

tabbed by Shaun D'Amico - sjdamico@iinet.net.au

* Song is Capo'd on the 7th fret

* Tab fingering is absolute, not relative to capo

* I think its in 3/6 time but I'm not sure...

Please mail me with any comments or corrections, I'd love to hear them :)
