Peace, love, and soul, Paul Zimmerman ******************************************************************************* Tabbed by Bucky LaDieu Greets and thanks to Mike Kirby! This is how I remember Noel Redding (the Jimi Hendrix Experience bassist) played Castles Made of Sand, but my memory is probably corrupted from hearing so many other bands cover this fantastic song. Repeat this twice for each verse and rest during the chorus. During the guitar solo imporv the last two measures repeatedly. In the last verse stop playing at "And it really didn't have to stop..."
