My Friend - Oblivia
Written by Tony Juke
Tabbed by Luke R (luke__007@hotmail.com).
Listen to the song for the timing etc. For tabbing out the intro the number
of times I put in the chords to play isn't the exact number as you're
probably aware. So just listen to timing. And do no get mixed up with the
bass riff which plays a different last note. I will tab out the bass too. On
the B7 chord the 7th note is played on the top string for this song. It's
pretty simple song to play. Enjoy.
