Theologians By Wilco
Note: this is the same as Dave McGinn's tab-version one. (great tab, credit goes to him)
However, there is no chord version of this song, and because it's only in tab format
(not a chord format), you can't take advantage of UG's transpose feature...
for beginners like me who can't play some of the more difficult chords like Bb and Gm
