Subject: CRD: big_star.crd by Ocean Colour Scene

I have resently just dicovered the internet and its great advantages
(especially this guitar archive)and i would like to say cheers to
everyone
whos helped in this ingenius idea. here is my small contribution

Big star - Ocean Colour Scene   album - marchin already
-----------------------------   -----------------------

NOTES- I have only shown the chords for this
song
however this song is played arpeggio style,
       I would have been here all day if i was to write out
       exactly what I play, to be honest
       i don't know exactly what I play.
       What I recomend is just listen to the song (trying to ignore the
lead)
       and make up a pluckedy bit of your own (its not too difficult)
       hints = throw in some hammer ons, on the bass strings when
playing the chords

And please give me a chance to break down the door
G                       C
but i sit oh oh I still sit here


Verse 3
-------
I don't want to be another tailor
Pricking at you'r thumb Washing all the tears away
Some words Oh I believe they don't feel you
picking up your dirt
And washing all the tears away

(this verse follows the same pattern as the previous verses)

with the help of his six string, a cd player and of course the olga
