PIGGY
I tabbed this because all the other versions I have seen have been wrong, this song has
EVERYTHING except the drum tab.

play 14 times
(optional guitar riff)
you can work this riff in towards the end of the song, maybe on the bass's tenth time
through the second chourus, but make sure that you don't end while this riff is still
going.

KEYBOARD
[keyboard ridd]
note values
T = Triplet
R = Rest
W = Whole Note
H = Half Note
Q = Quarter Note
E = 8th Note
S = 16th Note
the first number represents in what octave to play in,
the second letter represents the note
and the third letter represents how many counts each note gets
4BW-5AH-5GQ-5FQ-5GQ-5FbQ-5EE-5DbE
play this 6 times towards the end of the song, and then the keyboard will be the only
instrument playing at the end, and it will play 2 more times through alone.
email me at ss4_aaron@yahoo.com, if you need any help figuring out this tab.
