Members Only Chords & Tabs
Rob's notes: Where the "C*" appears with the asterisk it's just a passing note listen to the record.
It's in 4/4 time, no capo, although the recording speed has been altered and its slightly off concert pitch.
David's notes: Lower all strings by half a tone. Chords between() mean they continue from previous verse.
