Brick Guitar Tablature
BAND:        Ben Folds Five
SONG:        Brick
TABBED BY:   el sancco ([email protected])

I've tabbed this song to be played on guitar, preferabbly acoustic.
Play the main riff during the verses and then you can either strum
or appregiate the chords in the chorus.  I hope this helps you... If
you want to steal this tab and claim credit for it yourself, the least
you can do is to send me email before hand so i can feel special about
something i've done, for once in my life.  Appreciated.  Enjoy!
