Band - The Music
Song - Getaway
Album - The Music
Bassist - Stu Coleman
Tabbed by - Karl (karl.brooker@gmail.com)

Tuning - 4 String, Drop D (DADG)

Note: > denotes a held note

Amazing song from an amazing band. Part 2 of the intro/verse 
was quite hard
to figure out as Stu uses quite a dull and undefined tone.

I've kept everything split up, although it is mainly the same 
riff all the
way through the song, just so you can easily see where everything 
is. :)
