Cake: Stickshifts and Safetybelts
Tabs interpreted by Ben Walden.
I made these tabs a few years ago so they're not my best tabs. I
hope they help you out anyway! If you have any questions, comments
or suggestions, please e-mail me at kenober80@hotmail.com
This song is played off the standard blues scale.
