Song: Spoonful of Sugar
Artist: The Verve Pipe
Tabbed By: Stash Kovac - stashkovac@cox.net
Date: 6-08-2004
I found a live recording of this song as a B-side track on "The Freshmen"
single some years ago. To this day, it's still one of my favorite rock
basslines to play.
I tabbed this out from the live recording I have; I'm not sure if it
matches the studio version or not. Enjoy!
