Mardy Bum (2:54)
Tabbed by Daniel Finn (finn.dan@gmail.com) 01:19 06/09/2005
First tab written down properly, so it's a bit scratchy. Seems like a lot of chords,
but once you figure it out it's all simple progressions and patterns, nice and easy :)
Am working on tabbing the lead, but will take a while as I'm only a rhythm guitarist.
Anything you spot wrong, or tips to give me, email me at finn.dan@gmail.com
