Nanci Griffith – The Wing And The Wheel (Guitar Live Tab)
Capo 5
Versions

Guitar Live Tab
Guitar
Auto-scroll
Speed:
1.0x
Notes: The song is pretty much the first 8 bars on repeat. In the live
version she plays a few bars with variations, although without much
regularity. I've tried to tab them as I hear them, but I would focus
more on getting those first eight down and then you can play your own
variations as you like, as Nanci does. Hope this is useful. Thanks.
