And that's Take A Bow! Hope you enjoy the tab, please rate and comment!
he plays it on a four-string. i'm sure of it
yeah, chris does play a 4 string but the tab doesn't have any notes on the B string anyway so it's still good. =]
lol forget that, my useless eyes did notice the high C string as well. chris definately plays it on a 4 string but you can shift the notes on that string down an octave to play it on the 4 string so it works out.
