TAKE ME DOWN - Written and performed by James Iha
Transcribed by Adam Morris
I have a feeling many of you who were bagging this song earlier
have changed your minds. It IS a great song..really grew on me!
Anyway, here is my take on how it is played.
Tuning: Eb
Take note: I have four (kinda 5) different E's in here.
Sorry there so many chords, but this is as accurate as I get :)
