Newton Faulkner - Teardrop
tabbed by Alex Stevens
This man has an incredible talent for the accoustic,
it's a great song, I hope you enjoy it, feel free to rate.
It's a pretty hard song to learn since your mind is battling with
4 things at once...(who said men can't multi-task??)
It is very satisfying song to be able to play so don't give up.
