Godspeed You Black Emperor
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III
(BBF III)
This is the version that was arranged by Ghim (http://ca.youtube.com/user/gihm). The 
can be seen here: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=tJtdUgnmyF8 .

This is the best and only version I have found arranged for ONE guitar, so I decided to 
it out for everyone to enjoy!
THE TIMING IS NOT PERFECT ESPECIALLY THE STRUMMING PARTS (watch vid for timing!!!!)

So the tuning he is:
Tune the e up to   Gb]
Tune the b down to Bb]
Tune the G down to Gb]
Tune the D down to Db]
Tune the A down to Ab]
And E stays        E ]


He then places a Capo on the 2nd fret. I will tab it out as though there is no capo (eg. 
fret means 7th fret, NOT 7th from capo!)
