Bump Of Chicken - Melody Flag Chords & Tabs

Bump of Chicken - Melody Flag

Tabbed by kO`

Notes:
Before starting tune entire guitar down one half step
(D#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#)
Wheew, Done! This one is abit more challenging than Diamond technically, but a 
great song with a beautifully written two part guitar harmony. Sounds great with 
finger picking on an acoustic. You will most definitly need an mp3 of the song in 
order to follow these tabs, as there are many changes in the pattern of the song.  
An mp3 of Melody Flay is available for DL at 
                                                            Enjoy the tabs! ~kO`
