                        Albion (Intro) - Babyshambles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I take very little credit for this. The majority of it was taken from a
youtube video by dot335 who does some other helpful Libertines/Babyshambles
tutorials. This was done to try and expand the Albion Chords v2 so I have
to give credit to jameshammond for that. Probably not 100% to anyone as
there are so many demos and bootlegs of this song but any comments would be
appreciated.
