Im open to corrects, if needed. I dont usually tab music, so Im
sorry if this is a little sloppy. Feel free to email me at

Note:
I decided to tab both Johnny Cleggs and Jimmy Buffetts version of
Great Heart. Since there are differences in the two version, I
labeled the things different in the Clegg version with $, and things
different in the Buffett version with %; before and after the
differences. The similarities arent labeled. Example: $Capo III$ - it
means that Cleggs version has a capo on three, but Buffetts doesnt.
$Capo III (ALL CHORDS/TAB RELATIVE TO CAPO)$
