Chords

This is a neat little song on their debut album, Boy. The bass tabs on this site are fairly accurate, so I won't bother tabbing out myself here. Remember to tune your guitar down half a step. The delay setting for song is at roughly 100ms or so. Just enough to get a nice echo with 1-2 repeats. Play it softly. Tabbed by: Tracy Lalonde
