Hey folks, great band, interesting song. I noticed that none of the other tabs
on the site were fully correct and failed to take into account that Cartel has
three non-rhythm section instrumentalists, or, in the case of this song, 2 guitars and a
keyboard.
With that in mind I tabbed this out.
All guitars and keyboard arranged for guitar are in Eb standard tuning: Eb G# C# F# B# eb
The two guitar also have a capo on the 2nd fret, but the keyboard doesnt. But then
again, why would it?
Taken from my Powertab of the same song.
Eat and enjoy
