Track number 4 Consign To Oblivion (2005)
Tunning; 1/2 Step Up, FA#D#G#Cf (or well CAPO ON 1st FRET, if you preffer)
Well actually the guitar is not that important on this song, the important thing here is
voice and the orchestra,
I´m giving you the chords for you o follow the song and the voice, is not hard, also you
2 kinds of distortion,
one for the firs part of the chorus (a not so distorted one), and the other to use when
sings "that I call home..."
(a lot of distotion). The song is basicly in Bm everything can be figured out form
This is
a great song ant the tab works for both, the single and the recorded vertion.
Intro:no guitar, just flute and violin. (Here is the intro arrenge for guitar)
[]=Violin (from the second line and on, the violin plays the higher octave [play both
the one you preffer])
- - =Flute
