Song

This song is really easy to play and you can work the solos out yourselves.
The riff starts at the 13th fret of string G and works down to a hammer-on on
strig D(4th string) with 2nd fret and open. I've put down the 1st verse and
chorus, the rest of the lyrics are in the UP THE BRACKET sleeve.
Verse:
I won me a mocking bird, a mocking bird, a mocking bird. 
I won me a mocking bird when i gambled all night long. 
Mocking bird was a squawking bird, a squawking bird, a squawking bird. 
Mocking bird was a squawking bird, it was squawking all night long.
Chorus:
Let me tell you i tried for the money, i just wasnt able, 
Two more drinks and then i slipped under the table. 
She mocked me all night long
Get well soon Pete!
