  			This is the Acoustic version of "Fear" by Blue October.  This song was released  
today, 8/22/13 on their new "Debris" Acoustic EP.  You can find the original song  
on the new album "Sway." 

This song is originally A, E, D, F#m  I am very, very new to the guitar and the  
F#m was just too difficult for me to play, so this is transposed a step down.
