The Simpsons Theme

Misc Cartoons
Tab
★4.5(126)

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

Song

If you are a Simpsons fan and can play decent lead, then this is for you.

I should point out that I didnt do this by ear. I arranged it from a midi

file, taking what i thought were the best tracks and mushing them into one

instument. You will need the midi file that i made for this tab in order to

learn it. download it at:

www.geocities.com/jordanlockert/simpsons.mid

or get the slowed tempo version at:

(the time measurements are for the first one)
