Who Can Say Tabs

(ver. 3)
The Horrors
I looked at previous versions none were quite right somehow.
 mind you looking at live versions and hearing the original recording,
 i do realise that they sometimes change the song
a semitone higher e to f and so on.
this is the recorded version.
oh and by the way for guitar amp settings i use

bass=5
mid=5
treb=5
overdrive=10
gain=5
