TONIC - "Mr. Golden Deal"

From "Lemon Parade" Album

tabbed by jjhand for 3 parts

Tuning on Electric/Acoustic/Slide guitar = Open Dsus2, Capo 4th fret

1 = E

2 = A

3 = F#

4 = D

5 = A

6 = D

I tried to redo this tab using Version 1 as a starting point to make it

easier to follow since rhythms are tricky in this song. Please Rate or

Comment.
