Heavy Bells by J Roddy Walston And The Business

Heavy Bells tab by J Roddy Walston And The Business

Tabs with lyrics

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


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 Chord diagramE MajorE

Time signature:  4/4

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