------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SNOWSHOES - Precious Fathers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Natan Brown E-mail: [email protected] I saw that the Precious Fathers didn't have any tabs anywhere, so I thought I'd attempt to make a tab for this song, since it's one of my favorites. I put this tab as Intermediate, but it'll be a lot harder if you don't have your barre chords down. This was played on an acoustic, so it might sound better or more accurate on an acoustic, by yourself, rather than with an electric in a band. This is also mainly telling you the chords and how to play them per part, so don't expect anything too fancy... Also, I wouldn't recommend playing this tab exactly as it is. Listen to the song while learning it to give yourself a better idea, as this tab is meant to be more of a basic idea of the song. Feel free to change things up and add things here or there while playing. Enjoy! *Note: A continuous ~ symbol next to a chord (above the tablature) means let it ring.
