Academy Fight Song - Mission Of Burma
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: E-A-D-G-Bb-D
*I read somewhere that Roger Miller tuned down his B to Bb and his E to D in order to create
a kind of G Minor tuning*. It's apparent in the song when when jangles the chords.
This band is too good to have so few tabs. This song is too great to just have the sub-par R.E.M
version only tabbed out
Play loud enough to get tinnitus
