Pirates of the Caribbean Main Theme (a.k.a. "He's A Pirate")
by skijmpr
================================================================================
This tab is based off the original version by Hemo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z_lAjt-gMw
The tab follows the melody. The rhythm just strums the chords.
Many thanks to Hemo for producing such a superb guitar version
of this song and for AlteSchuhsohle for creating an excellent
alternate version of this tab, which was a great help. If you
want to hear (roughly) what it sounds like, please visit the
link above. Also, if you have suggestions on how to make it
better, please send me a message.Cheers!
