Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
A quick note that this song is played in open D tuning
This is tabbed for standard. As a result lots of times
any chord in the key of D sounds good so really you have
to use your ear and play whatever you think sounds best.
Also play close attention to the timing. There's a tab at
below with suggestions on how to play the main riff.
