Most of these tabs have been collected from the now defunct Unofficial Blue Nile Website. At some point I should make a link to a downloadable version.

Guitar Tablature for Midnight Sun

David Sylvian - Midnight Sun

This song is a fairly straight forward 
12 bar blues in the C minor key.
However in my transcription I have added sevenths
and suspended notes that reflect the chords created
by the piano movement on the original DBOAC track
