Subject: Holiday In Cambodia 01 Date: Tue, 30 Jan 96 17:19:00 +0100 HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA By The Dead Kennedys (Composed by Jello Biafra) A fantastic song.....from my formative years B-) .....just get the evil power of the opening riff right and you're there! This is an alternative tab for this song to the one already here. I've tabbed it for the different riffs.....individually spelt out first, then the way I play them together with the words. (P.S. I can't take credit for working it out.....Raymond Amour did that for me) Bass Riff ||--------------------------------------------------------||
