“Dreadlock Holiday” by 10cc
Note: The guitar parts are interesting in this song because there is
a foundation that revolves around the opening chords, and then some
obvious improvisation that follows. To play this song, all you really
need to know are the chords and you can work your way around that. I
did however tab the first few bars so that you can try to get the pattern.
