BAND: Jeff Buckley SONG: Nightmares By The Sea ALBUM: Sketches (For My Sweetheart, The Drunk) TABBED BY: el sancco (sancco@hotmail.com) This is a great song by the late great, Jeff Buckley. It's guitar a simple song but requires two guitarists to play in it's entirety. This is my tab, so if you wish to use it, please email me for permission. Enjoy!
