Mercy Street (Peter Gabriel)
By Tim Reynolds
Tabbed By Brian Danchilla
Tuning: Drop D
From Syracuse, NY D&T show (01-29-99)
Guitar w/effects for about 40s followed by
a harmonic intro (I think using the 5th and 7th frets)
The main melody then kicks in w/harmonics on
delay as a cool rhythmic background:
