Tab by Joe Costello ([email protected])
Since this song was released as a single about 15 years ago, and there's been no complete
version of the song for about that long, I'm finally getting unlazy and tabbing it.
Complete, with the solo. Yay. Now that I'm done ranting, here's the tab of one of the
greatest songs ever.
