Song: The Badger
Band: The Tea Party
Album:The Edges of Twilight (EMI, 1995)
Tabbed by: Aaron Severn (rlsevern@idirect.com)
Some of my favorite Tea Party songs are the instrumental ones.
As far as I can tell this is accurate tab for the guitar part,
all you need is someone with a sitar to play the accompaniment
and you're set. You'll probably have to finger pick it, I know
I do. As for the timing, I've written it in 6/8, it seems to
fit best, though there's a good chance I'm wrong. Anyway, enjoy.
Tuning: Open D
D A D G A D (from low to high)
Tab Notation:
H - natural harmonic
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend
r - release bend
= - let the note ring
^ - hammer on or pull off the note above, had no room for the h/p
Musical Notation:

D.S. al Coda - Go back to the place in the song where there is a

above the tab. Play everything until you reach the
coda(@)
then skip to the end of the song playing from the
second
coda to the end.
