##NOTE: Although this tabs difficulty as at intermediate, it is only because learning
the song off by heart is difficult. Once you have played it a few times it is actually
a really easy song to play!!!

JCB Song - Nizlopi
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Danny Alder
Email: danny@dsdextreme.com
Tuning: Standard with capo on second fret
This is based on the original tab that was submitted by Jon Tucker but after playing
around with the song for a little while I think this version sounds more like the
original. I'm not saying it is exactly like the original and I am not a expert
guitarist, I just thought I would contribute.
I still don't know how the banjo bit goes though.

as it's bugging me that you have to stop playing half way through!

PLAYING WITH ANOTHER PERSON
---------------------------
Although the tabs above are written for one person, two guitarists or even a bass
player and guitarist can play the song together. If you want to do this I put a
little tab below, but it is common sense, just one of you play the bass line and
the other play the melody.
So you would play the INTRO like this:
GUITAR 1:
e|-----0----3-0---0------0---3-0---0-|
B|-------3------3----------3-----3---|
G|---0-----------------0-------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|
e|-----0----3-0---0------0-----------|
B|-------3------3----------3---------| -|Let the last 3 on the
G|---0-----------------0-------------| -|B string ring!!!
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|
GUITAR 2/BASS:
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-3-----3---------------------------|
E|------------------3----------------|
e|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-3-----3---------------------------|
E|------------------3----------------|
!!!This method does make it more enjoyable and easier to play!!!
