Knowing People

Written by Matthew Sweet(EMI Blackwood Music, Inc./Charm Trap Music 1993)
Found on Altered Beast LP (1993)

Transcription arranged by Jason Robinson (SporkGD@aol.com or shaft@trib.infi.net
	for questions or comments)

This is one of the best tunes on Altered Beast(at least in my opinion).  It
just is powerful and gritty, so if you heard it live, you know that
distortion is heavily used.  Like most of the songs on Altered Beast, this
song uses rhythm guitar and Richard Llyod backing up with the squeals and
lead alongside.  If I ever get the lead part singled out, I'll add on.
But the song's fairly simple...
