Tom Waits - Martha
by kanshiketsu89
Here's a guitar instrumental for Martha. It's in standard tuning and you can
put a capo on the first fret, like I do. I wrote it myself, and this is my
first tab. If there's a mistake somewhere in the tab, please contact me and
I'll fix it. I didn't add the timing nor did I point out which pattern to
play and how many times. These are just all the patterns you need to play
the song, and it's up to you to put them together (which really shouldn't be
a problem). I've put some lyrics above to make it even easier. If you have
problems, watch my video on youtube. Here's the link:

And that's about all. Have fun.
P.S. Good luck misterblitzer... ;)
