The Road
FRANK TURNER
Tabbed by guitaristu

First single off the new album. Enjoy.

Just standard open chords with different bassnotes illustrated by /.
Only exception is the /G# chord which I suspect Frank plays as:

/Ab  : 40020x 
--EDIT: UG in its wisdom seems to be changing /G# to /Ab, 
        just play as above yeah...
