Wild Thing

The Troggs
Tab
4.7(92)

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

Intro

Solo

(Arranged for guitar, on the recording it is played on a flute like

instrument called the ocarina)

(Here the ocarina is overblown creating a

trill like effect hard to imitate on the guitar)
