September 1994 (weirdguy@cix.compulink.co.uk) (4/4 time, moderate rock, tune down 1/2 step) The timings you'll have to get from the song as this tab isn't written with the correct bar spacing in mind, nor does it specify the timeperiod of the note..you'll just have to work that out for yourself. It's jus' a rough guide really ;-) (Please note this was compiled as straight ASCII, so using proportional fonts to view it won't make it look very nice) Intro: ~~~~~~
