              Duff Mckagan - Song For Beverly

Played using standard chord shapes, tuned half a step down.(Eb).
I am using '--' to signify  a quick strum of the higher open strings (Db,Gb,Bb,Eb) 
during the chord change.
The solo although a cello in the song has here been transcribed for guitar.
Please listen to the song for the correct rhythm.

Hope you enjoy playing this. It was a beautiful song he wrote for his dying 
Grandmother. I don't know why he's not more famous.
Only about four songs of his even have tabs. Well here's my contribution anyway.
