From the "Cosmic Debris" bonus disc with Intergalactic Sonic 7"s
Figured out by Hawkman, 17/09/2006. http://www.phantomgorilla.com/
I wasn't totally convinced by the couple of tabs I've found for Halloween so I worked
out. 99% certain that it's right; the chorus might not be perfect, but it sounds good
One of my favourite ever Ash songs, and it's a B side - crazy eh?
Can be played without a capo (written immediately below) but the Fm to Bm is trickily
or more easily with a capo on the second fret (written afterwards).
