The Sweeney (TV show opening theme)
Music by Harry South. Melody very similar to a motif from a Miles Davies
song i believe.

This is my first tab so it may look weird - please forgive. I have fun
playing along to the youtube vid of this. It sounds note for note
correct to me and is midway up the fretboard for easy bending if you
wanna bend into the 7ths
