THE CHAIN (acoustic) - Fleetwood Mac

Tabbed by: vonwaldeck
This tab was made using the tutorial video found at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diPZntTRDVU (pt.
1) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvDOF5XN4OU (pt. 2) by gtrjoele. Thanks for the video, I
thought I'd share the tab I made for myself.

If you have an electic, there's obviously the ending outro coming in at the end of bass solo. It

the youtube video in the description at the top. Good luck!
