Headstart For Happiness

Style Council

Text File

This is my own interpretation of the Style Council song, "Headstart for Happiness", (P. Weller).


This is a great song, which took me ages to get right. I've tried to use the easiest 
of playing it, so if anyone has an easier way, suggestions are always welcome. Thanks. Tim.
