- Subject: TAB : Charity by Skunk Anansie
-
- This is my attempt at transcribing Charity by Skunk Anansie. It's
- the first time I've sent anything to you, so i hope I'm doing it
- right. The spacing may not appear right as I send this to you, it
- was written in New Courier font, I think. If there is a better way
- to write tab please reply.
-
- Charity - Skunk Anansie
-
- My first attempt at transcription, so don't expect perfection - any
- constructive comments can be mailed to christopher.johnson@ncl.ac.uk.
- There is no form of timing shown in this, so listen to the record.
