Song: Borders
Artist: The Sunshine Underground
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
This is an awesome Sunshine Underground song. I got the main rhythm riff from the other
on this site but I have also tabbed the lead guitar parts. The timing is not exact but
the notes are right so just play along to the track and you should get it. Song
at the bottom.
