FOOL’S GOLD ~ MIDDLE EAST
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by Kate Prendergast
January 2012
Beautiful song, awesome Australian band; a shame the Middle East has disbanded so early
in their music career.
This is my first tab, so go easy on me. The guitar here is very soft, so I had immense
difficulty picking up the tabs for the chorus, so I resorted to some possible chord
shapes instead. If anyone has a keener ear than me, please pull me up and put it right!
Standard tuning, capo 4
