Song: Woman in chains Artist: Tears for Fears Composer: Roland Orzabal Album: The seeds of love Tabbed by DJ ['DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar.com] 2nd Oct 2016 NOTE: This is my own interpretation intended for a single fingerstyle acoustic guitar accompaniment, giving a flavour of the overall backing, for a solo singer.
