The Only Ones - "Flaming Torch"
Album: Even Serpents Shine

  It's a tragedy that this band's songs aren't tabbed anywhere. They're
brilliant and really not that difficult to work out or play, even for me, a
total amateur. So I've taken on the task of posting some of their songs'
chords for your rockin' pleasure, and hopefully others will take the cue and
work out some more of their songs and more detailed tabs. Please point out
corrections as needed, since they may not be perfect. Long live The Only Ones!

"Flaming Torch"

(I'm not sure how the band plays it, but I use barre chords or power chords
and it sounds fine along with the recording.)
