This is the Acoustic version of "Fear" by Blue October. This song was released
today, 8/22/13 on their new "Debris" Acoustic EP. You can find the original song
on the new album "Sway."
This song is originally A, E, D, F#m. I am very, very new to the guitar and the
F#m was just too difficult for me to play, so this is transposed a step down.
Standard Tuning
Use Capo 2
