“Ma ma ma Belle” by Electric Light Orchestra

Hi everybody! (Hi Dr Nick!)
Anyway, I searched for this tab/chords all over the internet and couldn’t find it anywhere 
so I decided to try to 

tab it myself.  Note this is my first time tabbing and I am not the best guitar player, but 
I think the chords are 

right and that I pulled it off pretty well.  Hope you like it!!

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#1 by Jeremy Dosser at Aug 6, 1993 at 10:20 AM EST
	This was a B-side to "Living Thing". Don't know why it wasn't included on the album. Great mix of crunching guitars and orchestral strings. If your an ELO fan find this song and download it. Very underrated, as I can tell by lack of comments. Shows how they can rock out with the best. 1
