Porrohman by Big Country from the Album "The Crossing"

Tab by Colin Dawson; colin_g_dawson@hotmail.com

Stuart plays the intro with lots of delay; delay volume only slightly =
lower
than the  original signal. Use lots of repeats on the delay and use =
chorus
to fill out the sound. You'll get a great effect and the delay does a =
lot
of the work for you; it will play the notes in brackets for you
making the riff much easier to play. I've only included the bracketed =
notes
in the first 4 bars (coz it was too much like hard work) but they =
continue
as long as the riff does. Stuart uses various different pitch shift and
octaver settings at different parts of the intro - and during the e-bow
sections - sometimes it's an octave up sometimes a fifth or a seventh up =
I
think. Listen to the live King Biscuit Flower Hour version and you'll =
hear
this clearly.

I've added Bruce's parts at the end.

Clean sound with lots of delay & chorus. Strum the first & third chords
- the C#m - slowly UP the way and let the delay create a cascade effect.
