Weatherbox
"The Dreams"
American Art
Tabbed By: S2S (Cory McKnight)
Tuning: Open D (D A D F# A D)
Weatherbox is an incredible band/project fronted by Brian Warren
of San Diego, California. It is my hope to tab as many songs off
their debut LP American Art as possible. This tab combines all
of the guitar parts that are played throughout the song so that
it can be easily played by one guitar. Props to Luke from the
Weatherboxes Forum for figuring out the intro and getting me
started on the rest of the song.

That's it! The riffs basically repeat in the same order so I
decided to just write out the second half of the song instead
of repeating the same tab over and over. Hopefully it's not too
confusing for you guys. Please rate, correct, and comment!
