Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life Tab
Transcribed by Nicholas Low (fatcat_n7@yahoo.com)
Here is what I think is as accurate as I can tell by ear. I've probably missed out a
note here and there. On the harmonics, I think it's on the 7th fret, though I prefer
playing it on the 12th, it has a nicer ring to it.
I'd love for any corrections or opinions on my first transcription.

The rest of the song is a pretty basic G, Em, Am7 (or Am) and D7, then Am7 (or Am), D7,
G, Em. I couldn't pick up what it was exactly because of the background music. So this
is my guess what it might/could have sounded like.
