Hold My Finger

Sikth
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Artist: SikTh

Title: Hold My Finger

Album: The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild

Tabber: a_guy_called_richard@hotmail.com

Tuning: Drop D, down half a step (C# G# C# F# A# D#) Low to High

Sorry that the tab is so confusing, there is no easy way to

write this down.

PM me if you want to work on more SikTh stuff.
