                     MINIMAL AFFECTION - The Vaccines
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Luka
E-mail: luka.rackom@gmail.com

Tuning: Standard


I generally tabbed only the interesting and most hearable bits (without the chords and rhythm guitar)
but I guess that's most of it. If you have a correction or request for a part not contained herein,
do leave a comment. With that said, let's get straight to the biscuits:
