BROTHER – Adelitas Way
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From 2009 Self-Titled Album
Tabbed by Corner9
Tuning: Drop D
--Note: Acoustic parts are likely recorded in standard, but D chord in chorus sounds
like it has the lower end root D, so to keep it simple the whole song is tabbed in drop D.
