Subject: TAB : Charity by Skunk Anansie
This is my attempt at transcribing Charity by Skunk Anansie. It's
the first time I've sent anything to you, so i hope I'm doing it
right. The spacing may not appear right as I send this to you, it
was written in New Courier font, I think. If there is a better way
to write tab please reply.
Charity - Skunk Anansie
My first attempt at transcription, so don't expect perfection - any
constructive comments can be mailed to christopher.johnson@ncl.ac.uk.
There is no form of timing shown in this, so listen to the record.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SKUNK ANANSIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
