The Fear Ben Howard
Ben Howard - The Fear
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 4
Lyrics and Chord Below
--------------------------------
Riff 1 Played through the Verses -
NOTE: G in the lyrics is the timing to switch to the second part of the riff -
i.e. 3rd Fret on the E
And the A signifies using the open A string for the first part of the riff.
Its pretty quick and he mixes up the ending, the 0h2 is an educates guess but play
around with it. Fingerpicking
fun!
