Firth of Fifth - Genesis
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Genesis
Firth of Fifth (1973)
(Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford)
From: "Selling England by the Pound"
Great live versions on: "Genesis Archive, Vol. 1: 1967-1975" and
"Seconds Out"
Very difficult to pin down. This is an attempt to make the vocal parts
playable for folkies like myself. Feel free to comment - I'd be happy to
discuss this great song and to amend this tab.
So if you like the tab, don't forget to vote. If you don't, let me know
what's wrong so I can fix it. Thank you very much!
