I think this song rules! :D The album ain't out yet, and I can't wait to get it! :D
Okay, I've seen lotsa tabs for this song on this site, and noticed none of them are in
tuning, so I decided to tab it out for those who just can't be arsed to tune to drop C
me)
I know this isn't correct.. It's for standard tuning, I did it myself.. etc etc..
THIS IS TRANSCRIBED FOR ONE GUITAR ONLY! (So you idiots don't try to moan 'ooh but
have two guitariissttss'
..I know, I just can't be arsed to put down two guitars :p)
Tuning: Standard (E.A.D.G.B.e -- Low to High)
Intro - Use Clean, maybe some reverb/delay.. Add some chorus to make it sound good,
Not sure what's going on here, but I came out with this..

Solo - This wasn't that tricky to figure out.. and it isn't tricky to play, once you've
which frets you have to move to..
Sorry but I suck at tabbing timings.. so the amount of times
the notes are played are probably wrong.. Good luck :)
