Eternal Life (Live)
Jeff Buckley
This is a tab of the Mystery White Boy version of this song, but the other versions on Olympia and Live In Chicago are very, very similar. In the tab, Guitar 1 = Jeff and Guitar 2 = Michael Tighe. I?ve completely tabbed this with no help whatsoever, and I think you?ll find that it?s *** near perfect except for the ending, maybe.
