Diamonds On The Inside
I’ve had a look on ultimate guitar, and I took the liberty of splicing together all the
on UG to make a supertab. Now, im not sure how this sounds, because as I write this
my guitar is locked in my next-door neighbours house. I hope it sounds fine, and I hope
is easier than picking and choosing between 5 different tabs. Cheers,
Greg.
