Author/Artist: Kula Shaker Title: Great Hosannah Album: Peasants, Pigs, and Astronauts Transcribed by: Trevor James Hawes Email: trevorjames@cutey.com This is my first tab ever, so be gentle. I am almost positive that all the riffs in this song are correct though it is obvious if you listen to the song that some riffs at points have some simple variations which are easy to interpret. There's always been debate over riff 3, but after hours of listening and playing to the riff, I'm almost positive it is correct. It's a bit tough to get used to, but if I can play it then certainly anyone can. I suggest listening to the song in order to get the timing and all that nice stuff correct. Enjoy the piece and email me if you have changes or comments. Thanks!
