Surprise
Stereophonics (Just Enough Education To Perform SE)
Transcribed by Tom Ewer
This song is pretty damn cool I thought, that's why I did this as my
first tab, couldn't find a tab of it anywhere.
The solo is not exact, but it's very accurate and sounds great to play
along to the song to.
Surprise was a B Side of a JEEP single I think, and was put into the
updated album as an extra song along with handbags & gladrags.
E-mail me tomewer@hotmail for any comments, would like to hear from you.
