Bush — Comedown
from Sixteen Stone
Retabbed and Completed By: David Parent david_parent@yahoo.com
I noticed that there were many different versions of this tab, and none of them
sounded correct to me. They were close, though. I made my own, and I think it
sounds most correct, but I not an expert. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and
I hate when people don include the number of repeats, so I added those too.
Choose for yourselves which version you think is best, but this is my opinion:
