Don't Go Away (From the album "Black Butterfly")
--------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Pretty standard fare here, nothing too difficult. There could be three
possibly four guitars playing on this one at different parts, but this tab
is pretty much the simplified version of the song for one or two players.
Sounds great played through acoustics as well. Not quite sure of the F#m in
the chrous but I like the feel of it better than an F#.
