Alarm The Alarm Chords & Tabs
I'm pretty sure they play this song in a lower tuning (Drop C) but it works to play it
in Drop D because they never play anything deeper than a D power chord. I tabbed it in
Drop D because it's much more convenient and sounds better if you don't have very thick
strings. But you can transpose it. Pretty easy to do. Anyway, here's ALARM THE ALARM!
