Song: Desert Rose
Artist: Sting with Cheb Mami
Album: Brand New Day (2000 i believe)
Tabbed by: Steven Benoit (MikeDirntRulez@yahoo.com)
Tuning: Normal
This song has alot of different small variations in
different verses, but are pretty much the same
throughout, this is my very best transcript of how it
is played. And you have to listen very carefully
because it's not very easy to hear Sting's bass in this
song, so timing can really mess you up on this tab.
The order the riffs are played in are listed at the
bottom.
