Hi, this was requested and it was- Tough! Tough! Tough!
Melanie's songs are right up there with Jamie Campbell
Bower's in terms of difficulty to tab. Just getting the
initial chord progression is tricky with both artists!
I think I got it though :) The timing for the intro and
after each chorus is kinda tough. The changing sounds are
subtle, but I did my best and think it sounds good:)
