Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
(This is my first tab, but I hope this helps and makes sense).
Note: Greg Laswell plays this song live, half-step tuned down. If you want to play along
the recorded version, have your guitar in standard tuning.
At the fourth stanza, fourth line, beginning at "new song," (Am) the strumming changes
all down strokes until the fifth stanza, last line at "here now" (D). Then go back to
strumming.
Towards the ending, the chords are slightly arbitrary, but you can either listen by ear
improvise based off the chords given.
