I'm aware that this isn't a error-free tabbing but I did my best. I would appreciate if anyone had any suggestions, improvements or comments! (muri@po.-box.mcgill.ca) Date: Saturday, April 3 1997 From: David Harrison<blaze@interlog.com> Subject: TAB: "Listen" by "Collective Soul" Album: "Disciplined Breakdown"(1997) This song is pretty cool and it's not bad for guitar either. I'm pretty sure it's right but if you have any beef with it or something positive to say about it than e-mail me.
