Sail Away

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Band: The Rasmus
Album: Hide from the sun
Song: Sail Away
Tunning: Standard

You’ll see the first guitar in chords and the second guitar in tab.
In the Intro the second guitar has some effect that I cannot figure out,
I think it’s some clean or wah wah with light distorsion, I don’t know.
In the verses the second guitar is some clean or with light distorsion too.
Also in the choruses, the second guitar has another effect too, but I cannot figure out u_u.
Anyways, just try it!
