WASTING ALL MY TIME
As performed by Steve Larson acoustic on Leah's Local Zone (9-25-99)
Written By Steve Larson
Transcription by Mark Ord (ord@alphalink.com.au)

Notes: * Transcription is based on Steve's acoustic performance of the
         song on Leah's Local Zone (9-25-99).

         Note for the Local Zone performance, Steve appears to have 
         tuned down half a step. I'm not sure whether he normally
         tunes down, so other performances of the song may be in
         standard tuning.
