Glory Box - by Portishead
--------------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
A lot of people asked for this one, so here you go! I hope this
is adequate. You should be able to play along with the record if
your guitar is standardly tuned
OK. You'll need an electric guitar for this one. And maybe a synth.
You can't really do without a bass. Mmmm, and a string orchestra would
do nicely. Oh well!
I recommend just playing with the CD!
