Spy
They Might Be Giants
Dial-A-Song
Standard tuning
-----------------------------------------------------------
Notes: The end part is very random and I only included the
first couple recorded notes. You can pretty much play anything
you want in the key. The rest is mainly the pentatonic scale.
I've included the key changes (E, A, and B). Enjoy
