That was Wild Surf as was played live at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin-Ireland,
Thursday the 9th of July, 1998.
For some reason Ash played the entire set in open F tuning.
This means you tune your guitar up half a step more than usual so instead
of eadgbe, it's actually f,a#,d#,g#,c,f. I thought it would be better
if you just put a capo on the first fret though. It's no tperfect,
caus i tabbed it from a dodgy bootleg tape of the gig. It should
give you a good idea of how to play the song. This is assuming you
know what it sounds like :), i might post it on the site, if there is demand.
