------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protection Racket - Fionn Regan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jacob Norris [FionnFan] Email: spotsandstripes@hotmail.co.uk This works much better on an acoustic guitar.
