Abacab by Genesis - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Genesis Song List
Version 1
            Synth Notes In Parentheses

Notes as they would appear on sheet music 
with bottom notes lower etc. 
Any note not stacked is a single note.
5 Indicates play the root and the 5th.

I have tried my best to indicate notation for the lead parts 
here, but if its confusing to anyone, send me a message and I will 
try and clear it up for you.
