 #Sonic Youth-Sugar Kane
 #
 #this is by far the best song on Sonic youth's 'Dirty' album and one of my favourite
 #songs. i've done my best to try and tab it out in standard even if to be properly
 #played it requires an altered tuning. I've tried tabbing out what can be heard most
 #obviously in the mix, although there may be inaccuracies. Anyway onto the tab.
