 From: "Jeffrey R. Nicolaus"
 Subject: TAB: "Cuckoo Cocoon" by 'Genesis'
 
 " Cuckoo Cocoon "
 by Genesis
 From ' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway '
 
 TABLATURE: By Jeff Nicolaus (jnicolaus@msn.com) Sept 3, 1997.
 
 TUNING: Standard
 
 ARRANGEMENT: Taken off studio version. The guitars are mellow and
 effects laden. The intro and regular verse seem to have
 been recorded using a 'Travis' style of finger picking,
 where the thumb is alternating. This version is a little
 more syncopated and more to my liking.
 I will also include an 'optional' more aggressive
 style of picking for comparison.
 Time signature : 4/4
