I submitted the listed version of 'Cuckoo Cocoon' 6 years ago,
but have always wanted to amend it with the correct intro,
as used by the original artist, Steve Hackett of Genesis.
Here it is:
Amended: Apr. 27, 2003
"Cuckoo Cocoon" by Genesis
From 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'
TABLATURE: By Jeff Nicolaus (jnicolaus@msn.com) 1997
Amended by Jeff Nicolaus Apr. 27, 2003
ARRANGEMENT: The amended intro and main verse overlay has
been correctly reworked in the "Travis style picking" that was
used by Steve Hackett, with alternating thumb bass.
TIME SIGNATURE: 4/4
