Elton John - Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cow guitar tab
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John
Note: Pick out the opening melody, making the transition
from picked notes to chords as smooth as possible. I found it's smoother
to use a barre G for the first chord. Your middle finger should fret the
slide to the B note on the 4th fret G string, allowing you to grab the
barre G chord easily.
