Playing For Time Chords & Tabs
Acoustic Alchemy- Playing for Time
-I've been tabbing for quite some time now (maybe three years or so) but I've never
really submitted any of them in the net. But, after seeing the tabs on this song, I
couldn't help but submit my tab. I give a thumb's up to the two who've submitted
before me, but I feel a bit skeptical about some parts of their tabs (mind your scales!
= )). (^_^) I hope you find my VERY first submitted tab fine! Enjoy dudes!
Oh, and if you want the rhythm for this, check the other tab. Jae K. did a
very cool job tabbing it out!
