The Cult - The Emperors New Horse guitar tab
The Emperor's New Horse by The Cult.
transcribed by Kevin Jones
The song is basically easy to play with an almost easy solo compared
with
some of Billys' efforts in other songs. The song uses standard
tuning, but
you will need a wah for that personal touch in places.

SOLO
this solo is easy to play, but the tabulation I have done is only
roughly
what Billy plays. The bit at the end is a bit dodgy, but listen to
the
song to get the feel of it.

OUTRO
When I listened to this bit I couldn't quite tab out exactly what
Billy plays
so I would apreciate any suggestions to what is played here.
Anyway, here goes :
