ELTON JOHN - "Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cow" Tablature
Official ELTON JOHN Tablature & Sheet Music »
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John
Note: Pick out the opening melody, making the transition
from picked notes to chords as smooth as possible. I found it's smoother
to use a barre G for the first chord. Your middle finger should fret the
slide to the B note on the 4th fret G string, allowing you to grab the
barre G chord easily.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELTON JOHN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
