Cream — Sunshine of your Love

The existing tab was completly wrong, so i wrote a new one.
First some comments: Play standard tuning (E,A,D,G).Jack Bruce usually 
plays fretless bass, so his sound may differ from yours. For the 
articulation, take the record and listen to it. I'm not 100% sure 
about everything (Riff 4 might be kind of incorrect), but it is 
pretty close...

In the intro instead of playing the 3rd fret on the D string use the 8th fret on the A string its much easier but you get the same sound

Thank you ever so much Dennis. As a young scallywag, I used to love reading Beano and you did so good as Dennis the Menace I think you were scammed out of an Oscar to be fully honest. Hows Gnasher these days, still brewing meth and gambling his minimum wage? Pity, he had such a bright future. Is Walter still a little bitch? Expected as much.

By the way, the tab is utter shite, my nan is deaf and has no arms and even she could tell me that its wrong
