Talking Heads Wild Wild Life

Tom: E From: danielp% ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I grabbed John's post from Nevada, listened to the disc, made corrections, and here is the result. This is how a bud of mine and I play it (two guitars). I included a rhythm and lead for each part, and the lyrics at the bottom (they may have errors). There really isn't a rhythm guitar on the album, so the rhythm part is sort of a combination of the bass and drums. There is timing below the tab (1 2 etc), I hope it helps. If there are brackets around tab: [-2-3-], it means to repeat what's in the brackets. I hope somebody else likes this tune; thanks again to John for his original post.
