Frank Turner – Rivers tab
Absolutely love this song & I haven't seen a decent tab for this song so I thought I'd give it a go. It's not quite 100% correct but that's due to the open tuning lending to various little differences to each chord. Also bear in mind, I'm not putting the strumming down, just the chord shapes so you can work that out yourself, it's not hard. But it sounds right so I hope you enjoy.
