FADED LOVE (by John Wills & Bob Wills) -------------------------------------- TAB by Greg Vaughn (ribtm@ttacs.ttu.edu) based on chords and lyrics by Adam Schneider (indigo@ucscb.UCSC.EDU) The tab is actually a simplified version of the fiddle intro. I included the chord names in case you want to fill in the inner beats with chord strums (like I do). I'm afraid you'll have to play with it to get the feel right for this. The intro is in D and changes key to E at the end.
