xGirls Aloud - Can't Speak French (Tangled Up)
Hi,
This is my first tab ever so forgive me if there are any mistakes or the layout isn't
good! I'm a massive Girls Aloud fan, and I think this is a really great song. It's pretty
as it just repeats itself, but it sounds great. As I said this is my first tab and I
it all out by ear so PLEASE correct me or send me any feedback/questions. I reckon the
can also be played as a C#m and it sounds basically the same. Enjoy!
Katie
