AND THE CRADLE WILL ROCK...
VAN HALEN: Women and Children First
Tabbed by: dsale@jax.jaxnet.com

  Here's some tab for =VH='s and the cradle will rock.I know it was originally
 played on a Wulitzer electric piano, but what the hell, it sounded like a
 guitar and sounds great live.
 If anyone happens to have any WACF or FW shows, please leave me some email,
 we'll trade some stuff.
 Latah.

like: x\ x\ x\ x\ x\ x\ x/ x/ x/ x/ x/ x/ x/) with an MXR flanger pedal at
the beginning.
