From 'Dear Sir' (1995). This song is made up of two chords, and, correct me if I'm
wrong, but it sounds like a F, C progression. There are two guitars on the album
version, one
is clean and the other distorted, so it sounds pretty dissonant. Note that this
version is played entirely differently than the version on her debut single. I
have a tab posted for that one as well.
