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.
