Bangles - Following guitar tab

#

Following is the complete transcription of "Following", by the Bangles.

It's quite a difficult one, using barre chords throughout. I'm pretty sure

that it could be played without, but then you'd have to lose the arpeggio

effect that makes this song so great. Make sure that you tune your guitar

flat before you start. If you find any parts of the song too difficult, fill

them in with the chord labelled above the tab. The only bits that I'm not

positive about are the Spanish sounding chords at the end and the chords

during the second part of the second chorus, if anyone can help me out, I'd

appreciate it.

I always welcome corrections, justifications, additions, ideas, signed blank

cheques, the deeds to your house or anything else that all you generous

people out there feel the need to send me. Email me. Cheers.
