Chords

Tabbed by Stoneman 17/09/09 I hope this is a useful insight as to what both guitars are doing throughout the song. It's not all that complicated, which makes me wonder how the other tabs managed to fall of the mark. Anyway, turn up your drive, and slap on a bit of echo on your electric to replicate the guitar sound on the record. [Intro] (Electric Guitar)
