Your rating:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Promise - Matchbook Romance, from Stories & Alibis (2003) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dave Email: enduh@msn.com Tuning: Standard, EADGBE *** I wrote this tab for a solo version, not for 2 guitarists, so I hope it works out for ya. If you prefer acoustic, go for it. I used a lot of bar chords to mute the high strings and to fret the low strings to make it easier. If you have any questions at all, feel free email me. Enjoy =)*** listen to the song for rhythm!
