Subject: Tab: The Fountainhead by The Bluetones Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 17:50:34 -0000 The Fountainhead ---------------- by The Bluetones Tabbed by Frederic Maquet (f.maquet@ic.ac.uk) This is another great song of the "Expecting to Fly" album. If you like it, email me and tell me about it with corrections/comments... I hope the intro is accurate enough, but it sounds good! The whole song is played with two guitars, but you can survive with just one! The rythm is a bit hard though, so you'll have to listen to the song to get it right.
