Holiday In Cambodia tab by Dead Kennedys

Guitar tabs

[two versions]


        ===================

        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!
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
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)
