Summer Stained - Broadside
Drop C#
The tab must be played in drop but the chords can be played in Eb standard.
Here's a nice way to play the chords but they don't have to be played this way.
Also I'm not sure if all these chord names are right.
I've just tried to work them out so feel free to correct me :)
