Go To the Sugar Altar
Special thanks to Arriba for transcribing these. 
Here is my attempt to do a very simple transcription to the excellent
Kelley Deal 6000 debut album 'Go To The Sugar Altar'.
The little '#' signs signify a 'sharp' after a chord. And the cases where a
chord is shown as this, 'Em' is an attempt to show it as a B minor chord.
If you don't know how to read the tabulature parts...here is a little example...
if you see something like this...

G---------5----5----------7--------7----5
D----7--------------7----------5-----------

This means that you read across to the right so play the seventh fret on a
D string then 5th fret on G and 5th again on G, then 7th on D and then 7th
on G and so on....
If anybody wants to add anything to this or point out mistakes feel free to
e-mail me at arriba@tcroft.demon.co.uk
