From 1991's "Pretty on the Inside". This is my first tab, so please forgive any errors!
There are absolutely ZERO tabs for this song on the internet, so I figured I'd give it a
shot. Not sure how accurate it is, but it's definitely close if not spot-on in certain
parts. The song is played with heavy distortion and involves a few string bends, but it's
mostly just sliding. Fairly easy to play if you can keep up with the pace, listen to the
song to get the timing totally right.
Note: (b = string bend)

At the very end, when she sings, "Hang on, it's a soul... until the soul comes down",
there is a lot of experimental playing that I didn't bother messing with. Basically run
your fingers up and down the fret board for a similar effect.
