                    Never By Your Side - The Blackout
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Favourite song off this album, pretty simple really. I can't hear the lead well
enough to work out so it's not in here. It's only a minor part anyway. This 
should be right (it sounds right to me).

Tuning: Drop C

There's a cool harminic fill on the mute stums as well this time but I
can't pin them down right now. I'll update if I get them.

Second time round one guitar chucks some pinches up instead of the C and Ab
chords. Mess around and find some that work for you. I think they're on the
5th string.
