/**********************************\
|---DIRE STRAITS---TUNNEL OF LOVE---|
\**********************************/

Hi, I tabbed this song because I was able to find only one version of
it; now there are two.For any comment post at paroalb@yahoo.it
There are parts of the song that in the other tab iI found
were not, and modification in solo and other parts. Even if it's
easier to comprend it's much more complete.
