BLOOD BY ARAB STRAP. Words: Aidan Moffat. Music: Malcolm Middleton. Copyright 1996 Chemikal Underground Ltd. Transcribed by Marko Martens : Helicon1@usa.net I tried to get this down as acurate as possible. All the #VAR's are small variations to the #MAIN theme. Probably just mis-hits, but, as I said, I tried to be as acurate as possible. There are probably a lot more variations there that I haven't taken notice of, but that would have made the tab even more complicated. You can just play the #MAIN where there are #VAR's though.
