From The Beginning Chords & Tabs
This tab is based off a video of the band (Scotland, 1997) that I saw. It's a little
than most others I've seen on here, but definitely accurate. However, please excuse my
of knowledge on what the chord names really are, I just borrowed the names from another
or made them up as close I could. It's an overall short song when you're going solo on
so just extend the ending however you please.
For rhythms and overall feel, listen to the song or watch the video itself on YouTube.
for tuning in! Questions or comments welcome.
