FOLLOW YOU DOWN - Gin Blossoms
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: handlerb
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
Key: G-Major
Tone: Warm overdrive, on a Strat-type guitar I use the middle pickup
for rhythm and the bridge for lead
The tab on here already was pretty bad, so I took matter into my own hands.
Please take the time to rate it, any suggestions are welcome (P.M. me).
