Tin Pan Alley Chords & Tabs
Brian Fallon's solo version of 'Tin Pan Alley' a song he did with Chuck Ragan from
his 'Revival' tour.
Capo: 5
Tuning: EADGBe
Beautiful song, let's dive right in ;)
The only detail you need to be aware of in terms of major chord differences (No
pun intended) is that when the C is played he adds the third on the high E
string... Or in Layman's terms he plays the third fret on the high string.
Otherwise good old fashioned Fallon chords ;D
