THE RIVER
By "The Tea Party"
From The Album "Splendor Solice"

Tabbed by Mark Wiebe, rwiebe@mindlink.bc.ca

Standard Tuning  E A D G B E

I didn't try to figure out all of the little extra guitar parts or harmonies but I think I got the main stuff.  You'll have to figure out the timing for yourself.  There is also a lot a wah wah stuff in this song.  I didn't indicate which parts use the wah pedal because I thought you could figure that out for yourself if you have one.

This is just an example of the kind of thing Jeff plays for the intro. 
I can't write it out exactly, but I know it's based on this scale so it
should give you the basic idea.  Variations of this are repeated
throughout various parts of the song.
