The Longest Road


The song uses mostly known chords with variations of picking, a majority of which are down towards the high e string. In my opinion a very very beautiful song, I apologize if my tab is complicated, this was best way i could get it down in writen form. Feel free to use it and edit it in a better format if necessary.
