Benton Harbor Blues - The Fiery Furnaces

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: The Valrus

Email: webmaster at tabs-database.com.com

Tuning: Standard

Notes: Fantastic song, sounds great on solo guitar if you skip or just

don't stress about the bridge. And, of course, skip the weird bits

if you play the 7-minute version with the extra verse.

Section A:

As I try to fill all of my empty days,

all the good cheer and all of the charm disappears.
