Another tune from the excellent Bowie album "Low", this short
but sweet song consists of two basic guitar riffs. There are of course a
number of Eno sonic treatments not easily transcribed. Carlos Alomar does
not repeat the riffs exactly each time through, but the basics are here.
Have a listen to the recording to get a feel for the song. The tab written
here is merely a guide to get started in the right direction with the
lead guitar.
