		  AND THE CRADLE WILL ROCK - Van Halen
	   As heard on the 1980 album 'WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard

This is one of my all-time favorite Van Halen songs. It's also got some pretty cool
which are made by Eddie's Wurlitzer electric piano. The Wurlitzer was run through a flanger
then put through Eddie's Marshall stack. I actually believe that all the rhythm parts in 
song are played on the Wurlitzer, but for the sake of tabbing this, it'll be on guitar.

Wurlizter piano intro
0:00 - 0:04
Eddie said in a 1980 Guitar World interview that he just banged on random sets of keys,
didn't actually intend to make a melody. However, it's possible to get a similar sound
just sliding up and down, doing harmonics on the E string. It's also good if you can get 
MXR Phase 90 thrown into the mix as well.

Listen to the song to get the timing right.

Verse
This part is played in kind of a shuffle, it's hard to tab out how many times
each chord is hit, so just play along with the song and you'll get it.
