Save Tonight Chords & Tabs
This is a slightly easier version than the others on here. It isn't in the same key as
real song, but it has the same chord progressions. It doesn't use the F chord, which is
for beginners who haven't mastered barres yet!
P.S. Each "save" and "come" in the chorus is actually sung during the previous line's D
however, for ease of reading, I placed them on the next line. Otherwise, I've tried to
every word sung with the accurate chord played at that point.
Enjoy!
