So here's a reggae song about a centipede. I'm not even making that up.
It's an easy song by Loggins and Messina and just as long as you remember
to keep a reggae beat, you shouldn't have any problems. If you do have any
issues, just listen to the song and try playing along. Also, when you've
made your final judgement of the tab, please rate and leave a comment.
