This and my other post "Cold Lady" are one of the few Humble Pie transcriptions that can be found on the web, as it seems. (By the way: These are the only ones, at least I found no others. If you find any others please let me know!) __________________________________________________________ |"Won't you tell me, where have all the good times gone?" | | -Ray Davies, 1965 | | | |You can hardly listen to today's music. | | "music"? | |_________________________________________________________|
