Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away
ok here’s a pretty deep song and maybe hard to listen
to for some people . . but i liked it a lot and figured
it out . please leave comments with potential corrections
as i think some of the Bm chords are supposed to be Bsus4
chords . during most of the D major chords in this song ,
he does a little fill on the high E while keeping the rest
of the chord fretted .
E ) - - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 0dsus4 : xx0233
