Paid My Dues Tab

by Jaded Heart


****************************************************
Jaded Heart - Paid My Dues (from Heluva Time album)
****************************************************

	         (Updated: 8/01/09)

This is only the second song I've tabbed (the first being The
Rumour by Savatage).

This is a really cool song, and as far as I can tell the first
Jaded Heart song to be tabbed and put online.


Make a request and maybe in a few months it'll be done!
