------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORT OF SOULS – Gun Club ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the album ‘Mother Juno’ Tabbed by: Jay Rangdale Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard Port of Souls is one of my favourite ‘late era’ Gun Club songs. It’s pretty straightforward too! It’s easiest to play all the rhythm guitar using a standard e- major shape barre-chord. I’ve lifted the lyrics from Jeffrey-Lee’s autobiography ‘Go Tell the Mountain’.
