Song For The Dumped - Ben Folds Five (revised)

(Folds) From the album "Whatever And Ever Amen", track four.

Tabbed by Neil Hillen, 9607025h@udcf.gla.ac.uk

When I tabbbed it out I finished it, forgot to save it repeatedly and
then for a big finale, made the computer crash. I also noticed the
second time that there are parallels between the second verse bit and
Jimi Hendrix' (or should I say Noel Redding's) Little Miss Strange
intro, but no one else will, so I'll shut up.


   Intro; try a G root with your thumb
