------------------------- Artist: Mr Bungle Album: Mr Bungle Song: Slowly Growing Deaf ------------------------- I just figured out this tab one afternoon when I had assignments to do. If you want the guitar tab for this song, some other Australians have provided a marvellous interpretation of master Spruance's art, but I think their's is tuned down to a flat of my tab (incorrectly).
