After The Rain Tabs

(ver. 1)
Nelson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard, but downtuned 1/2 step:

Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-eb

Tempo: Standard Rock Pace

Chords: (surprisingly very simple)

B5      A5      E5      C#5     F#5     A#+4     A#+4
e|---   e|---   e|---   e|---   e|---   e|---    e|---|
B|---   B|---   B|---   B|---   B|---   B|---    B|---|
G|-4-   G|-2-   G|---   G|-6-   G|---   G|-4- or G|-6-|
D|-4-   D|-2-   D|-2-   D|-6-   D|-4-   D|-4-    D|-4-|
A|-2-   A|-0-   A|-2-   A|-4-   A|-4-   A|-1-    A|-x-|
E|---   E|---   E|-0-   E|---   E|-2-   E|---    E|-6-|

Performance Note: All of the above chords can be strummed with the top Bb and eb string 
open, except for the F#5 and A#+4 or it's variant.  This is especially useful for 
acoustic style without any electronics.

IE:

B5
e|(0)
B|(0)
G|-4-
D|-4-
A|-2-
E|---

You'll want to keep the A#+5 crisp and clear, the same as the F#5 because of the 
it should be a 'bump' in the road of the smooth flow of chords to break up the norm.
