QUEEN OF PORTLAND STREET - Matt Mays
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ADalziel
This was an older matt mays song that was called G And Me that was recently re-recorded. 
couldn't find any tabs for it and the lyrics people have been submitting are terrible, 
this is my attempt at both.

Tuning: Standard

Intro starts off with Em, G and C chords along with this riff..
