Tabs

Tabbed from the 16 Unrecorded & Unreleased bootleg (Club Sappho, May 26
1985), there are also bigger (arranged) versions on Being Sensitive,
Melissa Madness & Practice Tapes.

4/4 time, 138 beats per minute.

This is pretty much E MajorE E D MajorD A augmentedA throughout (except the bridge). There's one
strumming pattern for the intro, another for the verse and a third for
the chorus.....
