Song

Goat by Richard Walker (Copyright 2002) <-Legal shit pisses me off and Not Very Good

I like this one, it's better than "Headed Towards Disaster" 'cos there's more variation in it.

It's really laid back. Not aggressive at all. Laid back stuff, very cool. No Also, unlike

"Headed Towards Disaster" this doesn't sound like anything else. Another reason why i

should win an MTV award....................those bastards on the selection board

don't like me.

Anyway, as the great (insert name here) said (insert well known phrase here)!

Legend:

/=slide

PM=palm muting

"=downstroke
