Dead Man Walking

The Script

Key: ACapo: Fret 3guitarIntermediate

Text size:

single verse/chorus!) But it kinda does not sound that good if you are playing this with

only one guitar, so I wrote down the chords for you aswell. (It sounds much better

with two or more guitars :P)

All numbers are according to the capo!

Guitar 1

Guitar 1 starts on the the first syllable of talking (on TALK)

Guitar 2

Guitar 2 starts on the the second syllable of talking (on ING)

-> So the guitars are offset!
