--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Pete Townshend From: "Empty Glass" (1980) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard I think, Townshend uses an open tuning for this song. In standard tuning it seems helpful to use a transposed version with a capo to match the original key. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo: 2nd fret Play: D Key: E For chords in original key, transpose +2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
