------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benton Harbor Blues - The Fiery Furnaces ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: The Valrus Email: valrus@bluebottle.com Tuning: Standard Notes: Fantastic song, sounds great on solo guitar if you skip or just don't stress about the bridge. And, of course, skip the weird bits if you play the 7-minute version with the extra verse. /*==================================|Chords|==================================* Intro: [C] [F] [C] [F] Section A: [C] [F] As I try to fill all of my empty days, [C] [F] I stumble 'round on through my memory's maze.
