Cynical by Extreme.

I believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake. Anyone know how to play it? Or could I get the TAB on internet? Just the chords would do....I could work out where he plays them on the fretboard by watching a video.

My god, someone else knows about the Pink Fairies! I prefer The Snake, but good call. I see there's a version of the band out gigging at the moment but from what I've heard they're pretty dire. Bring back Paul Rudolph and they could be half decent, he knew how to write a riff. .
