MR CLEAN - The Jam
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By : revolving_soul
Tuning: EAGD (standard)
I think it's 99% right, there may be a tiny few frills he does at the section
from 2:01, and the timing there is hard to notate, but basically it's almost
completely correct, I spent ages on this. Quality song.
To be played with a pick. Of course.
