* If Life Is Like A Lovebank I Want An Overdraft * By the Wildhearts * Violated from the album 'Fishing for Luckies' Tabbed by Luke Hayward Submitted 24/3/98 (d.hayward@virgin.net) This was one of the first 'Hearts songs that I figured out. It's little more than one main riff and a few chords so you can dive right in.
