Ben Howard - The Fear My first tab, Ben plays this with open C tuning which is a pain for those who don't like to keep re-tuning their guitar. For this reason I have tried to recreate the song in standard EBGDAE tuning. I am aware that it is far from perfect but should be a good foundation to work from. Enjoy. STANDARD TUNING EBGDAE CAPO ON THIRD *NOTE* LYRICS DON'T MATCH THE NOTES JUST THERE AS A GUIDELINE.
