"Cockamamie Business" by George Harrison
TAB by Aaron Prescott

Wow, Complicated.  Rhythm is usually one dash is a sixteenth note, but don't go by that, as some places
have two-digit fret numbers, and I have to scrunch.  The piano and saxes play the chords written above
the staff, and there are some sections with just piano/sax chords and no guitar.  I know it's going to
be a bit hard to read, but I couldn't repeat most of the stuff because of the fills.  So I just wrote
it all out, straight through.

Good luck!
