Southern Point Chords & Tabs
The main guitar in this song is in Open D Tuning which means the six guitar strings,
lowest pitch to highest, should be tuned like this: D A D F♯ A D.
So take your Low E, High E, and B string and drop them a whole step. Then drop your G
a half step.
This song has some beautiful sounding guitar parts in it so I decided to do a tab for
Be prepared to use your thumb to play some of these chords though.
On the Intro and the Bridge I didn't notate the rhythm, just the chords. So listen
to the song for that.
OK so here we go!
