Too Long Johnny

                             Too Long Johnny - Hugh Laurie
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone, this is my first tab, I've looked for years trying to find a tab for this great
song by Hugh Laurie, being a sketch from A Bit of Fry & Laurie, but never could find any, so
I decided to sit down and try to break down the song and write some tabs for it for everyone
who's also looking for them.
This sounds good, although I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, hopefully someone can use these
as a starting poing to get a totally acurate tab.
Enjoy!

Tuning:

The tuning is as following:

e
B
g#
D#
G#
E

But it's tuned at 450Hz, so the notes should be half between those and the following
(i.e: halfway between "e" and "f", halfway between "B" and "B#", between "g#" and "A", etc.)
That works for me at least.
