The Whole Worlds Gonna Know

Mr. Big
Tab

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

The Whole World's Gonna Know (B.Sheehan, P.Gilbert)

Transcribed By Sócrates <socrates@dreamtheater.zzn.com>

So, this is a brilliant Mr.Big song, with a pretty good lyric,

in fact I thought that isn't very good to write the tab wit all their details

'cause have a lot of details, it's for that reason that I wrote just the

chords. I'm a little slack to write tablatures, and I also can to improvise

a little bit.

Any mistake that I've made, please let me know it, I'll be appreciated.

The Solo I think that's right, I've passed a lot of time trying to

transcribe it, so I was pretty strict to each note, so if you don't understand

anything or you think that there are any mistake, please tell me.

If you want the song with the lyrics, just emailme;)
