Misc Unsigned Bands - Hourglass- ' Saving You' guitar tab
I've been working on this song for months trying to get it right.
It's acoustic for now, but I'll make some electric parts on my
own time. The story behind this song is that it was written for
my dad, who unfortunately died in 2001. This song's tempo is
4/4 time, and you can make up your own strumming patterns, because
I use a different one each time I play this. Note that there is
a capo, so the notes are just moved up 1 fret.
(.)=half note(2 beats)
Standard tuning, CAPO 1ST FRET
