Sloop John B
The Beach Boys
Pet Sounds
126 BPM
Key: Ab

The same rhythm is just repeated thru the whole song.  This is my first tab, I'm 
pretty sure I got it right.  This is how I play it.  I find fingerpicking it to be easier, but you 
can use a pick as well.  It sounds good with max reverb and chorus if you have one.  
Please rate good and/or comment.  Enjoy
