Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart tab by Chris Cornell

Tabs (Ver. 2)

• Submitter: Apollonia93
• Tuning: Standard tuning

The mandolin licks throughout the entire song use a technique called alternate picking;
meaning every downstroke is followed by an upstroke and vice versa. So every open A augmentedA
string on the mandolin and, conversely, every 5th fret of the high e string on the
guitar is played on an upstroke.
