When It All Comes Down Lyrics

WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN
As recorded by Mastedon
(From the 1990 Album LOFCAUDIO)
Words and Music by John & Dino Elefante (c) 1990
Legends appear at the end.
There are a couple of sixteenth rests that will mess up the note count
if you arent careful. Rests have a note duration (S for sixteenth)
but no fret number.
A NOTE ON ACCURACY: All the notes are correct. I have changed my mind several
times over the fingering. This version reflects my current thinking on the most
logical and efficient way to play this. I may very well change my mind again
tomorrow. So feel free to adjust the fingering as you see fit.
