"A Song For While I'm Away" by Ronni Le Tekro Artist : Ronni Le Tekro Song : A Song For While I'm Away Album : Extra Strong String Tuning : Normal Transcribed by : Yutaka Uchimura (yutaka@twave.net) Uploaded : April 3, 1999 (Saturday) 18:51 This is a Thin Lizzy song written by Phil Lynott. I believe this song used the regular tuning on guitars, but maybe slightly higher. According to the video I've seen, the intro was played like in this tab. If you are a voicing expert, please correct my mistakes in chords during the chorus part :) There is no fast picking part, so it should be easy to play. Enjoy!
