And Through The Wire tab by Peter Gabriel
Guitar Tab
The tuning on this recording is somehow between A and G#. I tabbed it in A for playability. To play along to Gabriel?s original, one would have to tune down the strings a little bit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO / VERSE A Asus4 A Asus4 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + e|----------------------------|----------------------------| B|2-----------3---------------|2-----------3---------------| G|------2---------------------|------2---------------------| D|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| A|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| E|----------------------------|----------------------------|
