Song: Breaking Into Heaven
Artist: Stone Roses
Album: Second Coming
Written by: John Squire
Tabbed by: Rich Milwain (ramilwain@yahoo.co.uk)
Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G,B,E)
I couldn't find a tab for this song anywhere, so I had a pop at it myself. This is
pretty much the entire song (I didn't bother with that big intro) and although it may
not be perfect, it sounds fairly close to the recording. It's just missing a few bits that
are near enough impossible to transribe, but maybe they'll follow later. You will need to
listen to the recording to get this right...
After Intro (4:37):
There are two simultaneous guitar parts here:
Part 1 - the bit with the bends and that:
