The Fear Tabs

(ver. 2)

Ben Howard - The Fear

My first tab, Ben plays this with open C tuning which is a pain for those 
who don't like to keep re-tuning their guitar. For this reason I have tried
to recreate the song in standard EBGDAE tuning. I am aware that it is far

Enjoy.


STANDARD TUNING EBGDAE CAPO ON THIRD
