Better Than Walking Away Flying Colors
So since there as so few tabs out there from Flying Colors, I decided to spend the night
tabbing this little beast...
definitely one of the best songs off this album (aren't they all?) The songs is heavily
arpeggiated on the first verses,
which I of course did not tab due to laziness... although the chords are included, maybe
one day the actual arpeggios
will be tabbed! Timing may not be 100% exact, so be sure to listen to the song while learning.
Feel free to make any corrections in the comments section below!
