Following is the complete transcription of "Following", by the Bangles.
It's quite a difficult one, using barre chords throughout. I'm pretty sure
that it could be played without, but then you'd have to lose the arpeggio
effect that makes this song so great. Make sure that you tune your guitar
flat before you start. If you find any parts of the song too difficult, fill
them in with the chord labelled above the tab. The only bits that I'm not
positive about are the Spanish sounding chords at the end and the chords
during the second part of the second chorus, if anyone can help me out, I'd
appreciate it.

I always welcome corrections, justifications, additions, ideas, signed blank
cheques, the deeds to your house or anything else that all you generous
people out there feel the need to send me. Email me. Cheers.
