ARTIST: THE VERVE
SONG: THE ROLLING PEOPLE
TABBED BY : DAVID G (leavemehigh_1@hotmail.com)

To say that this song took a while to tab is an understatement! You are really g
to keep your ears open or even better shut off the lyrics on the record to see w
of the stuff i've got down here comes from. Nick McCabe is a genius and inspired
up a guitar and i thought it was about time i looked more into his work and tabb
this is off the actual urban hymns recording so it isn't a live version although
him play it, most of this is right, theres just little bits that i had to guess 
layers of echo and other guitars in the way, i may do other songs if i ever reco
this one, though its unlikely! Keep the Verve spirit alive and keep tabbing thes
