Born Under A Bad Sign - Cream
Tuning: , E A D G B E
for starters id like to thank indie nation for posting the original tab for this song.i saw it and used it to get a basic understanding of the song.for the most part he did an excellent job.all i have done is filled in a lot of spots in the verses that he left blank, along with editing some of the stuff he already had written.so while i did make a lot of my own changes to this tab,a lot of credit still goes to indie nation. also,this is my first time writing tablature on a computer.
