SANTA ROSA(G.Vannelli)

  Friends, if anyone feels they have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! The
objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate
transcription of his music for all of us to enjoy.
I have attempted to chart this material as accurately
as possible, yet there remain passages that I'm still
not entirely comfortable with, and I strongly encourage
any outside input! Since I am a member of this site,
it is possible for me to edit any of these charts.


d'..in octave above first C above middle C
d...in octave above middle C
'd  in octave below middle C
D   bass note

Mad dogs and wolf hounds running everywhere
You can go with the flow you can bend in the breeze
Just step to one side and then play the black keys
