GINA LOLAB RIDGIDA - Cardiacs
E|E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: The Mop™
From the albums: "The Seaside" and "Special Garage Concerts Vol I"
I used the Garage Concert version to tab this, it differs only slightly from the
on The Seaside;
the beginning of the track starts with muting then a rhythm with a C chord, before going
song in the same way as heard on "The Seaside":
Intro, chords are played by the organ
