Forever And Always Acoustic Chords & Tabs
Forever And Always Acoustic Tab
FOREVER AND ALWAYS acoustic - BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE
TABBED BY GEORGE WILLIAMS
STANDARD TUNING (EADBGE)
Well! i was listening to this the other day, and decided to look for a tab.
however, seeing as i dont have guitar pro, i couldnt see the tab that's
on here. so i just figured it out by ear. it's all there, including the 5
guitar parts for the long long outro. so yeh take a look, print it off and
leave any comments you feel necessary. cheers.
oh and if anyone says OOSH its just copied from guitar pro:
it's not, i dont have guitar pro. and i will set fire to you if you suggest
this. so think before you right.
and please dont be TOO harsh, im just 15...

BPM: 150
RIGHT i'm just going to put the guitars one under another, cus guitar
2 is just chords, so it would get confusing to when it comes in.

to bend from 0 to 1, or you can play it an
octave higher.
