Song: Heal Me, I'm Heartsick
Artist: No Vacancy
Tabbed by: Dan Benz (DanSumthing@aol.com)
This is the song that wins the battle of the bands contest in the movie
School of Rock. You can only hear pieces of the song in the movie, and from
what I heard, it sounded pretty good. I listened to the song on the soundtrack,
and it was really cool, so I thought I'd tab it out. (Also, in the scene where
they kick Jack Black out of the band, you hear them practicing it, and the
lead singer is saying the chord names in the song, so I had a head start there.)
In sections with lyrics, the notes line up with the word they are played on.
In sections without lyrics, notes are spaced in the correct rhythm.
