Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net)

	I remember the first time I listened to Vagabond's self-titled
album so clearly.  I was on the airplane to the U.S. and I turned on my
Discman.  Guitar in the intro flew into my ears and I thought, "cool!".
Then I finished listening to the entire song and I was like, "what the
hell???...this is nothing like TNT-ish sound I was expecting to hear
from Ronni and Morty's Vagabond!".  It was a very big surprise.  I know
some people just hate this album because it's too unique for them, and
I didn't like it at first either.  But after I listened to the entire
album a few times, it started growing on me.  "Thunderblunder" is one of
my favorites and here's the tab for you.  Enjoy!
