Mike Oldfield: Orabidoo finale
------------------------------
Transcribed by Juha Kauppinen
               jkau@phoenix.oulu.fi

This simple but lovely song is an excerpt from the ending of "Orabidoo" from
the album "Five Miles Out" by Mike Oldfield. The tab notation used might not
be exactly what you are used to but should be easy to follow. Connections
between the lyrics and the tab have been made with a ^ sign where possible.
