Black Country Rock Tabs

Bowie David
Black Country Rock          David Bowie      The Man Who Sold The

This is one of the best Bowie songs there is (although I say that 
about most 
of his songs, so that just goes to show how good his music is).
I don't know those beginning arpeggios, but if anyone knows, please 
mail me 
and let me know (or post them here if like)
