LIVING COLOUR
"LOVE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD"
from the album TIMES UP
tabbed
by

Its been a hard work but I hope I made a good job.
I would point you out a few things you need when you play these tabs:
The song is played in 4/4 but the rhythm is a shuffle blues therefore the song
should be played as in 12/8 ( 1/4= 2/8 + 1/8).
Q E Q E
|7-7---7------|: (2/8 + 1/8 + 2/8 + 1/8)
In some sections of this song there are irregular groupings notated with |-2-|
|-2-|-2-|-2-|-2-|
Q. Q. Q. Q.
|--------7-------|
|------------7---|
|-5--5-5---5---5-|
|----------------|
This is my first tab so if there are any mistakes in my transcription let me know
and Ill try to correct them as soon as possible...anyway the notes should be
correct (Ive been listening and playing this song for 2 hours!!!)
