Manic Street Preachers – Dying Breeds (Guitar Solo Tab)

Chords

---------------------------------------- from the DVD release of the 2005 single Empty Souls Tab by James Glover (Sebadonut) You can play the main riff of the song in several places on the neck. For example:
   C                         Em                          Am                        G

E|-----------------------------------------------------|---------------------------3-----3-----3---------3---|
I prefer playing it higher up the neck and will tab the rest of the song like so: [Intro]
   C                        Em                           Am                         G
