#Another Man's Cause
#===================
#
#By the Levellers - From the album "Levelling the Land"
#
------------------------------------------------------
#
#This is a great song. Simple to play (like most of the Leveller's stuff),
#but is enhanced by adding rythmic hammer-ons and pull-offs in the latter
#stages. Listen to the song and get into it...
