Ok. i feel that this is one of the best pulp songs ever. It's quite
difficult to tab out 'cause it's very orchestra-orientated. There is no
clear distinction between verse & chorus so i've worked with parts. It's
actually divided in 4 (i think) parts. i've done my best to it figure out
and i think i've done quite well with parts 1 and 4 but the 2 middle
parts... .no way! I'm gonna keep trying but any help would be greatly
appreciated. Please forgive any mistakes since I am an amature guitar
player. I Think it's played with a capo on the 1st fret but listen to it and
figure it out yourselves...
