Be My Escape

Tuned Normaly

The other Be My Escape Tabs were either missing some stuff or werent exactly 
right. So here it goes. 
Despite what you think about the video there are only 2 real guitar parts. Matt
plays the piano live.

opening:
gtr 1

e--9--9--9--9--9--
B-10--9-10--9--9--    (x4)
G-11-11-11-11--9--    It helps to bar the whole fretboard with your first finger
D-11-11-11-11-11--    on the 9th fret so all you have to do is lift up your
A--9--9--9--9--9--    fingers when changing.
