Death of a Shade of a Hue
by of Montreal
tabbed by Arcelle
Not sure about the voicing for some of these, but it plays pretty damn well. I
like it end it at the last Ab, since I feel it sounds a bit better then just
drawing out the Eb/F "ooh," with the lack of death rattles at the end and all.
also jesus christ kevin barnes those chords.
