James Bay - Let It Go
Tabbed by: Tim Robson
E-mail: TimRobson@live.co.uk
This song is originally played a whole step down however i created this tab in order to avoid doing this.
The Riff done by the second guitar is a work in progress so don't hesitate to comment (shown at end).
Based on the studio recording
Tuning: Standard, Capo:1

This next bit I'm not sure about, its the lead guitar playing the riff at points in the song such as the
opening, its not a necessity for the song to be played with but it can sound really nice alongside it.
This is how i play it its not strictly right :)
