Sting
MOON OVER BOURBON STREET (3:59)
The dream of the blue turtles (1985, A&M)
#File created w/Instab-http://people.mn.mediaone.net/sccarey/instab.html#

Thanks to Derek Barlas for transcribing this beautiful song earlier.
I brought it all up a half-step in order to play along with the CD, 
tabbed the chords and the pipe/synth parts. And minimized the lyrical
content per OLGA's new rules. Your comments and revisions are welcomed.
Have fun, Gehan Cheung
