From P.GERRARD@lse.ac.uk Fri Aug 1 11:44:08 1997 Date: Fri, 01 Aug 97 13:45:35 GMT From: P.GERRARD@lse.ac.uk To: mamster@u.washington.edu Subject: Chords and tab for 'Curse of the Frontierland' 'Curse of the Frontierland' doesn't really lend itself to a simple 'strum-along' treatment so I've added a few chord diagrams and tabbed the main riff to make it more like the arrangement that's on the record. If you arpeggiate the partial chords shown toward the bottom of the notation you should hear something quite close to what's played during the first parts of the verses. All the other chords sound best if you omit the third and just play root/fifth.
