THE GREAT WIDE OPEN
As recorded by Funeral For A Friend
(From the 2007 Album TALES DON'T TELL THEMSELVES)
Transcribed by Jordan Hamill (text version of my power tab)
Gtr I (C# G# C# F# A# D#) - 'Kris'
Gtr II (C# G# C# F# A# D#) - 'Darren'
Gtr III (C# G# C# F# A# D#) - 'Matt' (It mentioned he plays guitar in some songs on this
so i think the fill is him)
Note: Timing is not perfect but im almost 100% sure all the notes are there,
i think the is the easiest way to play this but its personal opinion
