There are two guitars in this song. The rhythm guitar always plays Part A, except when it
doesn't and instead plays Part C. The lead guitar joins in after the first two measures
and plays part B.

This is my first tab but it's all you need to get started playing this song, I just
haven't figured out the solo or outro parts yet. The Mission Hill theme song uses the same
riffs as italian leather sofa, but it's about 2 or 2 1/2x the speed.

Listen to the songs to get the struming right because its hard to tab.
