And Through The Wire Tab by Peter Gabriel

And Through The Wire tab by Peter Gabriel

Guitar Tab

From: "Peter Gabriel [3/Melt]

The tuning on this recording is somehow between A and G#. I tabbed it in
A for playability. To play along to Gabriel?s original, one would have to
tune down the strings a little bit.
