Born Under A Bad Sign

Cream

Text File

for starters id like to thank indie nation for posting the original tab for this song.i saw
it and used it to get a basic understanding of the song.for the most part he did an 
excellent job.all i have done is filled in a lot of spots in the verses that he left blank,
along with editing some of the stuff he already had written.so while i did make a lot of my
own changes to this tab,a lot of credit still goes to indie nation.

also,this is my first time writing tablature on a computer.
