Blow Me Away Chords & Tabs
Song: Blow Me Away
Artist: Breaking Benjamin
Album: Halo 2 Soundtrack
Tuning: CGCFAd
Gtr1: Plays and Sings*
Gtr2: Just Plays*
Tabbed by: Cody
*Note: Whether thats what each guitar is doing or not,
I set it like that because its the easiest way for
two guitars to rehearse it if one of them has to sing
while playing.
