LYRICS:
------
We have come for LIGHT
WHOLLY, we have come for light
It's TRUE
I am the SUN
I am the new year
I am the rain
I am the sun
I'm the new year
I'm the way home
I'm the way home
I am the rain
I am the new year
I am the sun
I am the rain I am the new year I'm the way
IT'S TRUE

/ = slide UP
\ = slide DOWN
(..) = didn't feel like typing the same thing over and over again,
just repeat till you think it's enough.
As you probably noticed, the Breeders' songs are very easy to play.
I'll tab more songs from Last Splash when i find the time for it.
