FLOATING VIBES - Surfer Blood
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: baghetti
Email: RTTTMOSMW@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard
this is the closest I could figure it out.
I tabbed it in a similar way (hopefully) to how you might see it in a book or
magazine.
Arranged for two guitars.
I put X's above some of the tab to denote the beat so you could get some idea of
the timing without the proper notation.
Chords:
Amaj 5776xx
Bmaj 7998xx
E5 0799xx
A5 57xxxx
E 07xxxx
F#5 24xxxx
