Notes:
-This symbol ^ located under a staff means that the chord should be accented.
-Bar lines indicate measures of 4/4 time.
-Dots (...) located under any staff are for timing, and indicate where the
downbeats (1234) fall.
-Where this (2x) is seen above the staff, it's an indication of how many
times to play a repeated measure. It applies only to the measures between
the repeat symbols, not the whole staff.
-Refer to the recording to hear exactly how the rhythm, palm muting, and
accenting of the chords should sound.
-More Girlschool tabs can be found on my tab website. There's a link to
the site on my UG Profile Page. (Click on "zerofret" at the top of this
page to get to my profile page.)
^...bend (w=whole tone) /...slide up
r...release bend \...slide down
h...hammer on =...hold note
p...pull off ~...vibrato
o pm..palm mute
o...repeat (the part between these symbols)
(This file is the transcriber's own work and represents
their interpretation of the song.)
