Funeral for a friend-Bend your arms to look like wings
Album: Casually dressed and deep in conversation.
Please rate this
Key:Dropped D
123 4 321: Correct fingers to use [left]
i m t =index finger, middle finger, third finger.
r=let ring
Like my other songs this looks hard but its not. I have put finger positions on left
and right hand, you do not need to follow them but you do not need to follow them but
they hay help.
Intro:
[Note, the intro startes when Matt Davies says "I" of "I hope you can save our
wounded hearts" It does not follow the guitar intro, it is a late bass intro]
