Artist: Kevin Ayers
Song: Religious Experience (Singing a Song in the Morning)
Tabbed by: IntCos
Notes:
Marvellous song that really demonstrated the ethos of Kevin Ayers as well as that
of his collaborator Syd Barrett. They are backed by none other than the members of
Caravan.
There's an acoustic guitar strumming the chords as well as an electric lead that
Ayers had stated was played by him.
Each verse consists of ten measures, with interspersed bridges of eight measures.
