'It's All True' by The Lemonheads
-----------------------------------
from the 1996 album Car Button Cloth
Tab by James Glover (Sebadonut)
Standard Tuning
There are a couple of guitars for most of the song (until we come to the middle section), one is
clean and playing open chords and the other is distorted and tends to play power chords. My tab
includes a combination of both - I like to step on a distortion pedal when the G and F power
chords enter at the end of each verse.

[Middle]
Sounds like maybe three guitar overdubs in the middle section so you can choose to play the power
chords or noodle around in a very loose fashion. The recording is not particularly clear with several
guitars buried in a washy mix. I like to improvise and play something as follows:
