The following songs have all been tabbed by me (Chris Flynn). I think that they are right, but no assurances. I'm not really a guitar player. I haven't seen them live either. / means repeat the last chord, you generally have to guess when to change chords. If you spot anything wrong, please mail me at chris.flynn@ntlworld.com

All songs (C) Electric Soft Parade 2002
All standard tuning (EADGBE and EADG for bass) unless otherwise stated.
