    Alameda

  • Artist:

    Elliott Smith

This is not my tab, but it took me ages to find it anywhere on the net so im
putting it up here for others to use, as the only other Alameda tab on her is
guitarpro, so those without a subscription to guitarpro cant use it.
i think this tab is right, sounds good, Elliott Smith is a LEGEND.
