------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Academy Fight Song - Mission Of Burma ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: E-A-D-G-Bb-D *I read somewhere that Roger Miller tuned down his B to Bb and his E to D in order to create a kind of G Minor tuning*. It's apparent in the song when when jangles the chords. This band is too good to have so few tabs. This song is too great to just have the sub-par R.E.M version only tabbed out Play loud enough to get tinnitus INTRO D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--8----8----8----8---------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--8----8----8----8---------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--6----6----6----6---------------------------------------------------------------------| MAIN (with gusto!)
