Subject: TAB: Matthew Sweet - "Time Capsule"


             Here's a great Matthew Sweet song to play
             off of "Altered Beast". I didn't include
             the solo because it's just a simple melodic
             one - I'm sure you can come up with one on
             your own that's better than it w/out too
             much trouble anyways!!! Remember, tab is
             just a guide. Listen to the song, and play
             it as "you" hear it...
