STEREOPHONICS
CARROT CAKE AND WINE (B-SIDE TO THOUSAND TREES)
Tabbed by Ryan ( Ryan@Waters21.Freeserve.co.uk )
Got bored waiting to see if anyone else would tab it so
gave it a go myself. Just use the tab as a guide to strumming
It might not be 100%, but the chords are right.
Enjoy!!

Main riff continues through verse
Verse I'm looking good got my shoulders back, a few more drinks I'm up to dance
