BREAKING BENJAMIN - Sooner or Later Acoustic
Tabbed by UntoldCatamount (athardin1@catamount.wcu.edu)
Tune down two whole steps
This is the way I play Sooner or Later. Feel free to mix it up a bit to add your
own variations to it. It also sounds good with barre chords, although change the
notes C and D to 5ths if you do.
This version is meant for one guitarist and has been adjusted as such.
Chords:
C 032010
Cadd9 032033
Cadd9 032030
D 000232
Em 022000
Em7 022022
G 320033
Am 002210
