Bloody great song, this, one of their best, and the bass part has some great moments, particularly towards the end of the first verse. Please enjoy, i hope at least most of it's right... :-) Any comments or whatever, please email me at [email protected]. ************************************ | (n) Ghost note | / Slide up | \ Slide down ************************************
