Band: Caedmon's Call
Song: 40 Acres
Album: 40 Acres
Tabber: oddmenout4@yahoo.com


This song has at least two guitars.  The one in the beginning has a capo on two and it
plays the intro riff, while the next one comes in playing the chords with a capo on 4.
I'll tab all the chords for the second guitar, and the intro riff for the first.
