THE BOY IN THE BUBBLE -- PETER GABRIEL, "Scratch My Back"(2010)
Exact chords tabbed out by ClassicalfreaK, 2015
Every single piano part that was transcribed for guitar
tab follows the voicing of the piano to the best of my
ability, short of an octave-change here and there. I worked
quite a bit on this one, please give this beautiful song
a listen and a play!
