RED – Gave It All Away (Guitar Tab)

Drop C (C-G-C-F-A-D) Video Lesson
Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

Hey everybody. Here's my version of the tab for Gave It All Away. I first learned this song with the help of another tab but that didn't really sound 100% right to me. I've changed everything to how I think it's right. I think I'm very close to the actual playing with this tab. It sounds right to me but it's possible that there are some mistakes which I didn't notice. I used this tab for my cover on YouTube, check it out if you want: Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD)

That's it. It's 100% correct to me, but I'm not that good of a tabber so I'm not sure. Theres always a chance that you hear mistakes. Have fun though!
