Song: Boston
Artist: Augustana
Piano riff tabbed for guitar
Transcribed so that it's easier to play the riff with limited space due to capo.
Based on the "Boston Acoustic" chords by Eric Norcross (www.EricNorcross.com), which
can be found here:
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/a/augustana/boston_acoustic_crd.htm
I have pasted his chords here (credit to Eric) to make this a complete
performance document.
I have also added alternate chord formations to try to Eric's chord list, as well as
the Em.
Cheers! :)
