3: 22~~12/12/12
2: 22~~12/12/12
1: 00
(when you slide, stretch it out as far as it’ll go. It can be a very
sexy/sleazy/tense little slide, when you hesitate with the slide.)
bridge:
1: 0 232 353 23 5653 0 232 353 23 5653 (etc, etc)
that's basically it. As far as I can tell, this is the way it’s played on
Fontanelle. Perhaps there's a mistake, or a difference here or there, but
I actually think this is pretty accurate. This is all my own doing, I would
like to add,
so if I screwed up, go on and bitch me out.
