Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire

Tabbed by:Evil_Empire24-7
Tuning:EADGBe
===========================================================================
beware the first full mahavishnu came to ultimate guitar. please rate because
this is my own work and it took me days to figure and hours to write it down
and sure this is a rare tab. this song has many bends and tricks so be aware
and it's sure a cool song.
