Bassist: Matthew Taylor
Song: Hangman
Album: Commit This To Memory
Tabbed By: Lewis [lewis_mason21@hotmail.com]
Someone mentioned in one of my previous tabs Matt tunes half a step down as opposed to
D, but I've tabbed this in D, so to move to Eb, just move every note every note up one on
fretboard. ;)
