Tuning: Standard


This is a song from the Magnum 
frontman's 2003 solo album "When 
Empires Burn".
It hasn't got the most inspiring 
guitar part to it (except the solos 
which are pretty darn good!)
but it's still a really nice song to
 play.

Enjoy!

Verse 1:
********

"Don't want excuses, they're all 
around..."

I have done a pretty complete tab 
below, but I have missed out some 
nuances.
In particular extra strokes on the 
lower string - add these to give 
your playing
a little more rhythm. Listen 
carefully to the CD to get a feel 
for it.
