Notes; As my favorite band, this is my first MGF tabbing effort. I am in the
process of arranging MGF songs to play as covers in a live band format, so there
should be more tabs to follow. If yr reading this then yr probably Australian so
then G'day mate. I'm possibly the only person out there tabbing this stuff...

notes directly above the markings...
