    Tabs? Just figure it out by ear.

    Seriously, try slowing it down with the Amazing Slow Downer software (a free version is available). It'll take you longer but you'll learn a lot by making the effort.

    And no, I don't have tabs or notation for it.

    It's called Sedi Donka. Here is some more information on the song:

    I found some abc notation for it and converted it to pdf. I know it is not tab but it might help someone. This looks to be in 7/16 alternating with 11/16. Yikes!

    It appears on the "Live Duets" album.
