"LOVE REARS ITS UGLY HEAD"
from the album “TIME’S UP”

It’s been a hard work but I hope I made a good job.
I would point you out a few things you need when you play these tabs:
The song is played in 4/4 but the rhythm is a shuffle blues therefore the song should be 
played as in 12/8 ( 1/4= 2/8 + 1/8). 

 Q E Q E
|7-7---7------|:   (2/8 + 1/8 + 2/8 + 1/8)

In some sections of this song there are irregular groupings notated with |-2-|

 |-2-|-2-|-2-|-2-|
   Q.  Q.  Q.  Q. 
 |--------7-------|
 |------------7---|
 |-5--5-5---5---5-|
 |----------------|

This is my first tab so if there are any mistakes in my transcription let me know and I’ll 
try to correct them as soon as possible...anyway the notes should be correct (I’ve been 
listening and playing this song for 2 hours!!!)

	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxjo28Jmy_c Think it's pretty obvious what the song is about.
