From: "Steve McQueen" (1985)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
I find it hard to play this alone on one guitar and still preserve the
textures of the original. It probably wasn’t meant to be played like that,
either. It’s still very beautiful and what is here might give you some idea
to work out your own version.
The tuning of the original recording is somewhere in between things.
