Absolute class of a song from a class band.If you like "punk rock blues, country techno 
acid house Marxist-Leninist electro funk" - these are top of the pile!

This sounds ok to the version on Hits and Exit wounds which samples the Aslan original

Capo 2nd Fret

Intro
CC/D CDm FF7 F (133211@1)CC/D (x32010@1)C

Improvise with C/D and F7 when palting these chords - C/D by taking the middle finger 
off in the C chord and little finger off in the F chord, seems to sound ok. Use this 
across the song
