Artist: Drain Sth Song: Simon Says Album: Freaks of nature (1999) By: Jari Levisto (levari@yeayea.com) I've tabbed this song in regular tuning, 'cause I have no idea what tuning they used on the record. Notes in () produce a lower sound if you use them, and it sounds more like on the record. The bass intro/chorus riff, gtr. uses the same riff.
