FOUR BROTHERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Saitenstechen
Tuning: EADGBe
Upbeat and complex (nonetheless catchy) jazz tune, originally written by Jimmy Guiffre.
Often covered with vocals, most famously by the Manhatten Transfer.
I'll tab out a lower octave because the higher one can be played by a saxophone,
soprano singer, trumpet, piano or the like.
Also, I will not use open strings so you can shift this around if you need to play in another key.
Key: Ab(?)
