Guitar Tab

Brother - Matt Corby

Tabbed by: Zlash
E-mail: sliderheerst@gmail.com

Tuning: Standard

Capo 2nd fret

Note: This tab is largely based on his live/acoustic/unplugged versions, rather than the
actual album version, with more fingerpicking applied than if you would play with a
full band (like the studio version), but it's basically the same arrangement.
