Counting Out Time – Genesis

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: soprano C
Genesis
Counting Out Time (1974)
(Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford)
From: "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
I tabbed out the song in G, easy to play. To match with the original
recording you’ll have to transpose this tab up +1 to G# or use one of
those cute ukulele capos on the first fret.
