Corb Lund Band - The Truth Comes Out

a co – worker of mine introduced me to this song . naturally , i went on ug to
find a good tab on it . when i noticed that the other tabs were wrong , i
decided to make my own . and this is exactly what he plays . this is from
seeing his live performances and even a very short tutorial he did with qtv .
if you are having any problems with the dynamics or the strumming of the
song , please listen closely and play along . and , when you’ve made your final
judgement , please rate and leave a comment .
