Song:           Sharks Can't Sleep

Album:          The Burdens Of Being Upright

Written By:     Tracy Bonham

Performer:      Tracy Bonham

Transcibed By:  Gina Martinelli

Typed By:       Peter C. Marinari (krisis@erols.com)

This is a pretty accurate version of the song.  It works well on

acoustic guitar, and I don't know what sorts of effects to use on an

electric (other than it seems distorted during the chorus).  It was

figured out by the marvelous Gina Martinelli after having front row

seats for a Tracy Bonham concert (she was watching Tracy's hands very

closely).

Note: In the verses you should hold the chord while playing the single

strings (in other words, don't just do one string at a time).  This will

produce the correct ringing sound.  I didn't bother to tab out the

verses in this version of the file, if you'd prefer to play them from

tab go get the .tab version of the file (duh).  The following is the

pattern the verses always follow:
