                      Greg Lake: C'est La Vie

Transcription by:    Rainer Boettchers (boettchers.pad@sni.de)
                     Paderborn/Germany, July 1996

Tuning:              DADGBE (DropD)

Comments:            I've tried my very best but sometimes it is nearly
                     unpossible to identify the guitar on this track.
                     Greg plays some additional harmonics and open octave
                     chords, add them if you like. 
                     When a chord is used the first time I try to
                     name it (I hope my guitar teacher doesn't read the 
                     results ...). Some chords are really unusual and some 
                     are not even real chords. That's Greg's style.
                     I did not write down the complete song but only the
                     main theme and bridge which are repeated over and over 
                     again.
                     THIS SONG ALSO AVAILABLE IN TABESTRY FORMAT (.TBS)
