Heavy Bells Acoustic chords

Heavy Bells Acoustic

• F

This is not an official acoustic tab for the song. The tab that cbenagh posted is 
accurate. This is just something for acoustic or rhythm players such as myself who 
still want to play along with the song, and can't get that same distorted electric 
tone on the solo parts. So if you love this song and wanna strum along by a fire 
or in your friend's basement, this is the one for you! Listen to the song for the rhythm.
