Artist: Adema
Album: Unstable
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can I say? This is a very melodic song (by a kick ass band), but suprisingly very easy.
So, here's the song in full. Hope you enjoy...
NOTE: You will have to figure out the exact timings and amount of strumming yourself!
Tuning: Even though the original is played drop-tuned, I made this one for normal tuning.
-Intro Part 1-
Play without distortion (try to make it sound like an acoustic if you can).
e |------------|
B |------------|
G |-0-0-0------| Play this 2 times.
D |-3-6-1-0----|
A |-3-6-1-4----|
E |-------4----|
-Intro Part 2-
Kick in the distortion with this part.

D|--6-6--6-7-6----2-2--2-3-2--|

-Outro-
Play this part a few times, making it decrease in volume each time until
nothing can be heard (a fade-out).
e |-13-13-13-13-15-15-15-15-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9--|
B |----------------------------------------------|
G |----------------------------------------------|
D |----------------------------------------------|
A |----------------------------------------------|
E |----------------------------------------------|
And that's the whole song! Of course, like any tab, it doesn't do all the
work for you - it still needs a few of your own unique finishing touches.
But hey, it works almost perfectly...
