Runaway
This is my tab for his new song Runaway. I know that this is not 100%, but
there isn't a tab for it yet and I wanted to get the ball rolling. Please,
if you think I tabbed anything wrong, write a comment. Also, the lyrics
might be off somewhat. He has not officially released them yet. Thanks.
