BACK BROKE by The Swell Season Tabbed by: Jon Ransom Email: primotiv86@gmail.com I've seen Glen play this live at a show here in Portland and I've noticed what chords he and the general sound/feel of the song. It has much the same structure as his song The Way Down" from the Once film soundtrack. He does a Bm/F# guitar walk sort of thing beautiful and haunting. He also has a capo on the 2nd fret. There aren't that chords to the song and it's fairly easy to play. I think this tab is about 99% There's one aspect of the chord changes that I can't get just from watching him play it live listening to the recorded version. But this is fun to play and sounds damn close to the This is technically my first tab I've ever done. And be sure to put soul into it, I know Glen would appreciate it! Cheers mates!
