Fall Of The Bastille


I didn't tab this, but thought I'd submit it as there are no other tabs for this song on site. Also it's a great song, and cool to play. Once again, full credit to Aidan for tabbing it. Track: Fall of the bastille Available: Racecar is racecar backwards and old XFM Session Tabbed by: Aidan O'Brien http://www.fallofthebastille.co.uk It's done. It took me ages. I'm happy with it. A general rule with the loud parts of this song is "if in doubt, make lots of noise".
