Chords

Album: Speechless C1999 Sparrow Song/Peach Hill/BMI Tabbed by Steve Cruickshank This song is played in dropped-D and tuned down half a step, however there's no reason why you can't play it in standard (it'll just sound half a step higher than on the CD), but the riff pretty much requires the low string to be dropped. All the chords written below are with the tuning change as well. [Intro/Main Riff]
