Chord/Tab song: Nakagawa-san

by Andy Mckee

Tuning: E B Eb Gb B Eb

This is one of my favorite songs my Andy Mckee, and I tabbed this mostly by ear, though
I used another tab for some help. I am pretty sure this tab is spot on, but if you have
any tips, feel free to comment. I did my best to break up the song into followable
parts, but listen to the song to get the tempo down. Also, a technique that Andy Mckee uses to
make this song beautiful is shaking the guitar, so try to do that when you get to
ringing notes. Good luck!
