"Thoughtless" Poor Old Lu Lyrics: Scott Hunter Music: Poor Old Lu (c) 1994 Alarma Records Tabbed by: Johnny Lloyd ([email protected]) ************************* ** Tune a half-step down ** ************************* Verse: 4x Gb-|--------------| Db-|--------------| This is played at a Ab-|--3-----5--4--| pretty slow pace.

I made up a riff and that is what is tabbed down there. It sounds a little like it, but it isn't correct. It's still fun to play, though.

Enjoy.
