A Promise To Keep tab by Brandi Carlile

Tabs

Brandi Carlile
Downpour 7" Vinyl Single

I didn't include the fills, the intro and the outro, 'cause they're easy to figure
out. Just look at the tab I below. I haven't heard the actual track, just listened
to the song on YouTube, so it might differ from the original version.
