Song

DARKNESS AND A BOTTLE TO HOLD, from GG Allin.

Appears on the album "GG Allin's Doctrine of Mayhem"

Tabbed by Jake Strange (Scumfuc).

Played on acoustic guitar. The tuning sounds a

little off from the CD version, but I believe it's correct.

A lot of GG's older music was recorded very badly.

OK, play the following throughout the whole song....

*(play this part 4x)

Song ends on a "D."

Sorry if the timing is off, it probably is.
