Band: Manic Street Preachers
Album: Know Your Enemy
Tabbed by James Grimwood
It’s a large tab, but I tried to make it as easy to follow as possible, but there are so many variations. I tried my hardest and it took me ages. This is as close as you’ll get without JDB telling you personally. Any comments, suggestions, questions etc, send them to [email protected]. Enjoy!
