                             In The Long Run - The Staves
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first attempt at writing a tab , I hope this makes sense!!
Credit must be given to Liward72 for the chords also provided, this helped me massively.
Mainly though a video on youtube by Cams Campbell - that's where I've got this from but in the video he
explains that he doesn't write tabs so I've tried to do it myself.. I highly recommend watching the video,
and if you need a visual reference for the tab, try and use this.

I know it's not 100% but hopefully you get the jist of the rough picking pattern and can try and play the song!

I don't claim to be a musical genius, I just enjoy playing the guitar on my own, in my room, so if you
want to slate me or my terminology, be my guest.
