THERAPY? - Opal Mantra

Transcribed by Tim Davis (davist@cs.man.ac.uk) from the mini-album
"Hats Off To The Insane".

This version isn't exactly what Andy Cairns plays as during the
verses he often doesn't play anything at all. Instead, this
arrangement takes bits from the guitar and bass so that you can
play the entire song on a single instrument.
