My Favourite Faded Fantasy
By Damien Rice

This is all done by ear, and I'll update it once I have a chance to actually look at him playing it.
The song begins on an acoustic, this can be played with a Capo on 7 to make it easier,
but its not necessary.

Acoustic strums chord lightly for a few measures, then the electric guitar comes in…

Things get muddled with the rest of the song once there are multiple guitars and distortion...
and it gets hard to pick out by ear.
I'll try to add more once I see a live performance.
