Chasing Shadows Chords & Tabs
Django Reinhardt - Chasing Shadows
I decided to make the tab since I wanted to learn to play this song and I thought that other people might want a leg up on learning it, as well. I can't guarantee that it is 100% correct, but I think it's pretty darn close!
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
~ = trill (rapid picking)
