Los Straitjackets Pacifica Guitar Tab


Here is another tab I did a while ago. I'm gradually moving my tabs over from the Yahoo Group. This is tab for Los Straitjackets' "Pacifica".
Song:    Pacifica (Eddie Angel/Danny Amis)
Artist:  Los Straitjackets
Album:   Viva Los Straitjackets!

Tabbed by Brian Neal - 9-Aug-2002

Here is what I came up with for this great surfy tune from
our masked heros, Los Straitjackets (http://los.straitjackets.com).
