Alejandro Acoustic Chords & Tabs
Alejandro - All Time Low
Email: vana304@hotmail.com (for any questions only)! :)
Something I learnt by ear but it's not exactly how All Time Low played it at the Live
but this sounds similar (:
This is my first tab that I've done so it may not be perfect!
You can check out my video of me playing it for the strumming etc. (:

The strumming that I've written on the tab may not be exact, just listen to the song and
get it! It's not that difficult! :D

'Oh, oh...' - palm mute for each chord (strum up)
