Dumb Poet - by Immaculate Fools
Tabbed by: Phillip C. Hayes phayes1336@aol.com
Good song, arguably one of the easiest on the whole ??Dumb Poet?? album to tab. Easy for a beginner guitar player, in that it helps teach moving from one chord to another especially on the Chorus, instead of those drab CD guitar lessons that have you playing one chord for 80 measures and calling that progress. As always, improvements are always welcome! ENJOY!
