I Want My Tears Back Nightwish
Nightwish - I Want My Tears Back
NOTE:: This isn't completely accurate with the bass guitar in the
song. I wrote it for acoustic, and in some cases made a bit of a
"judgement call" on which chords fit best with the song. Some of the
chord progressions are a little tough in terms of switching back and
forth - feel free to simplify as needed.
NOTENOTE:: In solos, when I have two chords and one says (s) next to
it (for single-strum), it generally means the first chord (or second,
as the case may be) gets three beats and the single-strum one gets
one.
