Bush - 16 Stone Album

Std. Tuning

Chords: (all power/5ths)
C#  = x466xx
A   = 577xxx (or x022xx)
E   = x799xx
B   = 799xxx (or x244xx)
D#  = x688xx
F   = x81010xx
F#m = 244xxx

This is an interpretation of the song for jamming on a single guitar. Chords for all
rhythm sections included. There are some decent tabs out there for this song, but no
chord posts. This is a Bush song, so I won't try to overcomplicate it as others have. I
found the tabs extremely hard to follow. My goal is to eliminate all the guess work in
offering a complete and intuitive version.

Note: I'm not playing it exactly per the CD. I am playing on acoustic. I also slow the
song down, eliminate some of the shouting/intensity, and it makes an awesome
alternative version. Can really put a lot of feeling into this song. (Chords should
work on electric, and cranked up as well)
