For Holly Acoustic Tab by The City On Film
Artist: The City on Film (www.cityonfilm.com)
Song: For Holly
Tabber: Andrew Biles
This is based on the acoustic version of the song found on the limited 'Little informal'
EP, however, I think the only real diffence on the electric verison is the bridge. In
the solo part it sounds like there's two guitars, but I wanted to be able to play both
the parts so I tried putting them together and it sounds pretty good with the solo
guitar. I've laid it out in the correct order as well, so hopefully there'll be no
problems with it.
EDIT: Added an alternate way to play the song. This first way is how Bob played it live
when I saw him the other day, the only bit I had trouble remembering was how he played
the bridge, but this matches in with the CD pretty well.
Looking at the Tab difficulty thing it took a while to decide, the hardest parts are
getting to know the chord shapes and the solo part as it has a strange feel to it, I
think the time signature may be slightly different, but if you know the song you won't
struggle to badly.
