Guitar Chords/Tabs

If you are like me and like to try and play the guitar now and again, or in fact can play the guitar quite well... then you might like these. Was pleased when I saw the link leading to this- as I think it is def the most comprehensive set of Martha chords/tabs that I have seen. Not tried playing any of them, just had a quick glance... Have a go yourselves....

Play Guitar 24/7 is the link....
