Goldfinger - San Simeon (from Stomping Ground album)
Transcribed by Justin Goldner, 3/24/00

Standard E Tuning

Hah! The first tab from their new CD, Stomping Ground, before it even
comes out! (Four days) The CD's pretty good, this is probably the
softest song on it (no ska this time). Real simple, like six chords,
sometimes barred sometimes just power chords.

Not much of a tab, but the songs catchy so whatever. Next I'll
probably do some other songs from their new album, You Think It's A
Joke, Forgiveness and Pick A Fight all sound good. Personally, I
think San Simeon would be a good live song because there's so much
room for improv crap. Whatever, here's how they play it, comments,
questions, corrections: goldentoad@hotmail.com
