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
