Tabbed by: Daniel Van Wingerden
Comments: DanVW36@hotmail.com
This awesome song is off of The Afters new CD. It's an amazing acoustic song and I
this tab is 100% correct if you take the time to learn it in it's entirety. As always, refer
the song for timing and rhythm.
You can play the song in standard tuning if you want, but it's going to be a half step higher.
TUNING: Standard Flat (Eb, G#, C#, F#, Bb, Eb)
Guides:
s - Slide
h - Hammer
P - pluck all notes at once (Not strumming)
S - Strum the notes with your thumb
Chords Used: C Am Em Gm Dm Fm G F
