Kings And Queens Chords & Tabs
This song sounds so much like something U2 would make, wow.
I've tabbed the whole song and all the riffs as well that might be violins, keyboard and
stuff they use as guitar.
I haven't noted down the exact strums so please figure out the rhythm yourself.
Tuning: Half Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
INTRO:
