Relient K – Be My Escape Acoustic chords
Chords:
I've seen great tabs for this song, but all of them were just a little bit off. nothing too major, just enough to irk me a little bit. anyway, I've listened to the song over and over and watched how they play it live and I am 100 % certain that this is the way that they play it live, as well as on the album. Also, thanks to lovetoplaybball for the most accurate tab on this song. Oh yeah! One more thing. The high pitched instrument in this song is a mandolin, I'm not going to tab it out. That goes for the piano too.
