Dead easy to play, saw a horrendous guitar cover on youtube of this (played with tuning all the strings a
semitone up???)It's very obviously in drop C, and this is what i've worked out.
Also, check out my other tabs for Picture A Knife Fight, Break A Butterfly On A Wheel,
City Of Dreadful Night, Milky and Sorry And Thanks, Children's Limbsand A Tragic World Record, all fab songs
Mon the biff!
