Song Title: Protest Song Artist: Hugh Laurie Tabbed by: Shala Lee (shala_lee@hotmail.com) Tuning: Standard I like how it sounds with G and C for this song so I decided to post it here. I thought how Hugh Laurie played it on SNL. Play G with open string at 1st & 2nd strings. The harmonica part Laurie played is into guitar tabs here, best played with electric guitar.
