Royal Crown Revue - Rise And Fall Of The Great Mondello

      This is my first tab.  There was not much info at all on this song so I just felt it 
out.  Playing a song that
a big band plays with just one instrument is a bit difficult but this is the best I could come up with.
I failed to replicate the sound of the circus music but it still has a nice flow.
Perhaps you can help in the comments.
