Positive About Negative Aberdonian Crusty

NOTE: I edited this a couple of times around 22:16, on 21 December 2010, and the morning of the 22nd.

I wrote a song. Give it a listen!

It's a happy blues song about crust music in Aberdeen.

For the benefit of a couple of friends, here are the tabs:

Notes:
* I skimp on some work by just saying what chord to play for that part.
* The chords used are given at the end of this file.
* Always listen to the song for the rhythm.
* This tab file does not describe the songs structure, only its riffs.
* I know I wrote the bloody song but these tabs may still not be perfect.
