Artist: Spiderbait
Song: I Gotta Know
Album: The Unfinished Spanish Galleon Of Finley Lake
Tabbed By: Peter O'Connor
tuning: gtr 1: standard
gtr 2: drop D (DADGBe)
you could get away with playing it in standard tuning if you want
just remember to change chords like (777xxx) to (577xxx)
gtr 3: drop D or standard, it doesnt matter
this should be about 90% right (except the strumming pattern),
i know it is better than the other tabs ive seen for the song.
I used a live recording to help me figure it out
(triple j live at the wireless from a '96 concert)
you can hear him tune down to drop D on this recording
give ya a heart attack ..

i know the notes in the above two parts are half a steps difference but thats what it sounds like to me
i know its not perfect, i think there are tiny licks in the chorus that ive missed
but its better than others i have seen
