Oppression Tabs by Ben Harper

Oppression tab by Ben Harper

Guitar tabs

Props to Ian Lindsay for his transcription, but I found a few mistakes. I^Òve numbered the measure
variations as (1), (2), and (3)^Å the order is just slightly different, and the finger picking at the end is
again just slightly different. I^Òve asterixed the changes. Cheers.
