Flogging Molly: Laura
One of my favorite songs by Flogging Molly, This is the version from the
"Whiskey On A Sunday" album. For the acoustic chords, the electric just
follows with the same power chords. But on the electric, when playing the A5
power chords while the acoustic is playing Am, there's a small fill on the
low E string before the next bar:
e|------|
B|------|
G|------|
D|------|
A|------|
E|-2-5--|
***CAPO ON SECOND FRET!***
***All the chords on this are just played in the shape of the chord names,
just with the capo on the second fret, but all the tablature parts are played
just like they are typed in this so you don't have to play the solos and
fills two frets up from whats on here.***
*(Start with acoustic only)*

Outro: AmAmAmAmAm! E|-2-222-5-| (x4) AmAmAmAmAm!
****On the outro, the acoustic and electric play the Am chords together, but
the electric plays the small fill while the acoustic is muted. And the fills
for the outro are a little bit different from the ones in the rest of the song.***
