                            SLEEPING CHILD
                      By: Michael Learns To Rock
                    (Music & words: Jascha Richter)

PLEASE NOTE: This is the first time ever I have tabbed a song
             so if it sounds out... I'm sorry! 8) I'm only 16.
             Also... I didn't take into account the timing for the tabs.
             You will have to listen to the song to get the timing correct.
h-hammer on
p-pull off
