'Caldey' by Manic Street Preachers E|----------------------------------| from the b side of the 2014 single Walk Me to the Bridge tab by James Glover (Sebadonut) Standard tuning EADGBe You will be strumming the chords F#m Bm D E throughout most of the song. I have tried to tab the way I strum the chords which I think follows the flow of the rhythm. [Intro] Im not sure what instrument is playing the lead melody (synth, maybe) but here it is tabbed for guitar.
