ASK
note:the intro on Rank is G , C C, G, much simpler than this intro
 
A new corrected version with the bass thrown in for fun.
 
some notes before you go on:
This tab is a two guitar song tab'd out for one guitar.
It's also tabbed out in mind that not everyone (myself included)
and lay just like Mr. Marr.)  For example, I _do_ know that there
are three more strings on the guitar :), but I can play through this
version and it sounds good.  If you can crank through it, it wont
be too hard for you to round out the chords a little.  Corrections,
comments etc etc to shruew@cyclone.xnet.com
