The Funeral Chords & Tabs
As a start I would like to say that the tab with the highest rating is in the
right key but the riff is off. So lets begin:
Capo up three frets. (notes are according to the nut)
So capo isn't really necessary But I saw him doing it live so.
To make this tab I watched a lot of live videos and I'm pretty sure this is 100%!
