Never Knew The Rocket Summer
okay, so i tried to find a tab for this song...
but i couldnt...
so i wrote one.
please bear in mind that its only as accurate as a
piano tune transcribed for guitar can be. i did my
best, and i think it plays quite nice on accoustic.
this is also my first tab. enjoy!
capo 1st fret.
work out the timing yourself.
its easy if you know the song.
