Afterglow Chords Tab

by Quench


 okay, this is a really simple version, i've taken all the fancy bits out and just 
left the power cords it's played with.

okay, well it's actually just played with 2 note power cords, so not even full 
power cords, for the really basic and beautiful sound of the recording.

the cords are very simple:
G#   (4,6,x,x,x,x)
D#   (x,6,8,x,x,x)
C#   (x,4,6,x,x,x)
A#   (6,8,x,x,x,x)
F(1) (x,8,10,x,x,x)
F(2) (x,x,3,5,x,x)
