Title: No Speech

Album: Don't Give Me Names

Transcribed by: Job Mulder

on the album are two guitars in this song, but they only have one guitarplayer

so some things are played by a second guitar, and in the verses the 1st guitar plays

only the first 2 parts over and over.

but the rest sounds good to me, so have fun.....I think it's pretty correct.

If you have any questions or anything else to say to me, mail me.....
