Tabbed by:djoakey

Tuning: Drop C# (C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#)
This is my first tab and ive figured this out completely by ear.
All the other tabs i had read for this song had been wrong or didnt give the lead guitar
were in the wrong tuning
soooo, i decided to post one which is 100% correct
well, im pretty sure it is:P
please email me regarding any corrections;D
Now this particular song is a bonus track of Paramore's latest album, Brand New Eyes,
has made its name as the
soundtrack for the film Twilight.
It's relatively easy to play, it just gets more complicated when you start adding in the effects
But the effects are optional:)
Ive tabbed lead and rhythm guitar parts which are recorded both by Josh Farro on the record.
