Burn One Down

• G

Notes- Ben plays this song turned down a step to a DGCFAd tuning. However,  
       the transcription below is with standard EADGBe. If you want it to  
       sound exactly like the album you need to tune it down.  
       Also, this song is entirely fingerpicked. Use your thumb for the E,  
       A, and D strings.
