I Ran So Far Away Tab by A Flock Of Seagulls

I Ran So Far Away tab by A Flock Of Seagulls

Guitar Tab

The intro starts out with a seagull sounding noise. This sound comes from Paul Reynolds guitar.
To make this sound simply mute the strings and slide your pick down the strings to make
the seagull effect.  Now I should warn you, I'm not good at making tabs!

Tabs made by: David T. (me)
Song: I ran (So Far Away)
Band: A Flock of Seagulls (Mike Score, Ali Score, Paul Reynolds, Frank Maudsley)
