Catnip Dream

(This is my own work, if there are mistakes and differente version trouble,
just blame my bad musical sense.) I based this tab on the version shonen knife,
although Jeff Buckley plays a version of this song that might be a little different.
Use standard tuning. Feel free to correct whatever you think is wrong!
