Freak silverchair >From "Freak Show" After looking at the tab someone did for this track, I took it upon myself to tab it. Sorry but the other person who tabbed this was well off. I have sent a version to Olga. Will tab other tracks from the CD. This was tabbed by friend Benjamin Micheal Dickson, he sent it in the mail, but modified and typed up by me, Peter.Christiansen@jcu.edu.au Please send any comments to me.
