RAMBLINGS
P.S. I'm open to suggestions and corrections, but do realise that these chords aren't perfectly accurate
and are just an attempt at some decent sounding progressions to accompany the song. It's also played lower
than some of the other chords available, I found the others oddly high and uncomfortable to sing to. The lyrics
are what I've heard from the song, I'm unsure of the part "There's a tile that goes right
through the floor" as it's not very well heard in the song and not consistently documented anywhere else.
P.P.S. Does anyone know/can guesstimate the bass-line in the intro? If so could you convert it to guitar tab?
P.P.P.S "Commin' Home" isn't correct spelling, but it's how the title was spelled on the song's single cover.
