                The Ledge - Fleetwood Mac
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

Fleetwood Mac
The Ledge (1979)
(Lindsey Buckingham)

From: "Tusk"

The song is in B. I tabbed out two versions here.

1. Original version from the album : 
   Buckingham tuned down his guitar 5 half steps 
   from e-B-G-D-A-E
     to b-F#-D-A-E-B

2. If you don't want to do that: regular tuning but original key 
   But that's not the real thing ... and only half the fun!

For both versions: only the lower three strings of every chord are played 
(root, fifth and octave).
