Per a request, I am reposting this tab of....
"Cadence and Cascade"
King Crimson, from the 1970 album In The Wake of Poseidon
Written by Robert Fripp and Peter Sinfeld (lyrics)
(NOTE: This is not from any book, magazine, whatever, so it's not a
professional transcription, per se. Still, this sounds pretty good. Please
E-Mail any comments to Deceiver@Maple.circa.ufl.edu.)
(YET ANOTHER NOTE: there really is no need for a transcription key; this is a
simple accoustic song with no taps, slides, etc. Of course you may add what
you like to enhance the song).
(verse)
a: (instrumental)
b: Cadence and cascade Kept a man named Jade;
c: Cool in the shade While his au-dience played.
d: Sliding mystified On the wine of the tide
e: Stared pale-eyed As his veil fell aside.

Sad paper courtesan

G#minor (I think)]
[That's it, hope you enjoy. I've been looking for a TAB for this song for
awhile, I finally had to do it myself]

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 KING CRIMSON 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.
