----------------------------------------------------------------- FOOL’S GOLD ~ MIDDLE EAST ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by Kate Prendergast January 2012 Beautiful song, awesome Australian band; a shame the Middle East has disbanded so early in their music career. This is my first tab, so go easy on me. The guitar here is very soft, so I had immense difficulty picking up the tabs for the chorus, so I resorted to some possible chord shapes instead. If anyone has a keener ear than me, please pull me up and put it right!
