                       "  Cuckoo  Cocoon " 
                            by Genesis 
               From ' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ' 
  
 TABLATURE:  By Jeff Nicolaus (jnicolaus@msn.com) Sept 3, 1997. 
  
 TUNING: Standard 
  
 ARRANGEMENT:  Taken off studio version. The guitars are mellow and 
         effects laden. The intro and regular verse seem to have 
         been recorded using a 'Travis' style of finger picking, 
         where the thumb is alternating. This version is a little 
         more syncopated and more to my liking. 
               I will also include an 'optional' more aggressive 
         style of picking for comparison. 
  
         Time signature : 4/4
