Ask Yourself Chords & Tabs
Note:
I know this tab isn't 100% accurate, in fact, I think it might be in a completely different tuning,
but all of the other tabs on here are not as correct as this one is. Over the chorus you should
hammer on and pull off of the C#(2nd Fret) of the B string, and sometimes for the chorus I like
to just play the A chord as
A: x0442x
-Chords-
A: x0440x
C#m: x46654
D6: xx0202
F#m: x 9 11 11 10 9
E: X79997
B: x24442
