Waiting in the Wings – BBM
(Moore/Bruce)
Around the Next Dream [1994]
E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: varannion
‘Waiting in the Wings’ is the opening track from BBM’s first and only album ‘Around
the Next Dream’ and is highly reminiscent of Cream’s ‘White Room’ and/or ‘Tales Brave
Ulysses’. It’s certainly very creamy and features some wonderful wah-wah guitar by Gary
Moore.
Tuning: standard
