Heavy Bells Tabs by J Roddy Walston And The Business

Heavy Bells tab by J Roddy Walston And The Business

Guitar tabs

/ slide up
 \ slide down
 h hammer-on
 p pull-off
 ~ legato (hold note through until next note)
 + harmonic
 x Mute note
 ^ bend up

Tuning: EADGBe (Standard)

Note: It looks like The Business tune their guitars down to Db, but I'm way too lazy for
that (and hoping you are too).
So I left it in Standard E

Time signature: 4/4

There are two guitars, but they play pretty much the same thing almost the whole time.
