Wasn't that a spiffy song? lDKim@nando.net (if you have the lead then please post it!)> "Now They'll Sleep", Belly Changes:Here's the revised edition of my tab for "Now They'll Sleep" by Belly. I've Figured out the beginning as best as i could with an acoustic guitar. I'm working on Tom's part with the D chord. The lead stuff should be easy enought to figure out, but i'm not good at that stuff. Can someone tell me the effects settings on the song? <especially how to get that axial crunchy sound in the F G phrase.
