Chords

Email: [email protected] Seen a few versions of this about & none of them are quiet right so thought id have a crack at a cleaner version as this little tune is not in the official book... There is a banjo accompanying on the album version following the main riff, harmonics etc if i buy a banjo one day ill tab that out too... Tuning: Half step down (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb)
