"Temptation" 10-20-97
by The Tea Party
as performed live at the 1997 Much Music Video awards
Hi, my name's Ben and this is the first song that I have ever tabbed by ear
(just by listening to the song over and over and over again). If you find
any "errors" or things you feel don't sound right..........fine. I'm not a
professional musician and if you have a better ear than I do, well, good for
you. Anyway, this was an amazing song to begin with and The Tea Party's
performance at the MMVA only made this song better. So, enjoy this song and
HAPPY PLAYING!!!!! :)
