Ratts of the Capital - Mogwai
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Wade Abbott
Email: wadeab@hotmail.com
Tuning: Regular
This tab is only for one guitar. I put a general idea of what the other guitar plays
at the end, but i don't have time to figure it all out.
The song is in 6/8 Time signature. (I count the whole song as 1-2-3-4-1-2)
Although they stray from it once in awhile.
