Song
"Gimme Shelter" by The Sisters of Mercy (from the album "Some Girls Wander by Mistake")
=======================================================================================
transcribed by jonas-ol@dsv.su.se
please note: gimme shelter on the 'temple of love' 12" (and (sgwbm) was
probably recorded with the bass & guitars tuned slightly up/down (delete as
applicable) form normal tuning. i didn't bother tuning my guitar when i
transcribed it so there are probably more errors than normal in this one.</h5>
