Fire Escape Fastball
Standard tuning (EADGBE)
Great song by Fastball. The lead is pretty easy to find, but it took me a
while to figure out the rhythm behind. Here's my interpretation, which is a
mix of ear and watching them play the song live... the timing is
approximate, so please listen to the song to get the strumming right. Hope
that helps... email me (jfgenie2@hotmail.com) if you have corrections and/or questions!
