Becoming A Jackal


Villagers / Becoming a Jackal Okay yes i MAY have just copied the other version and corrected a few chords, but who cares if it sounds good? :D I based most of the chords i changed by the connor guy's jools holand performance, just solo guitar so its easier to transcribe. Anyway, have fun...
