Jawbreaker
Basillica
Dear You
Tabbed by Jonathan Takish
This is one of my favorite Jawbreaker songs..yet there are no tabs for it and I've never
a cover of it.
Like most songs on Dear You..there are multiple guitar tracks and so much distortion its
hard to tell whats going on
but this is 95% accurate I'd say
Dropped D tuning

Play that part until it switches key
The bass line sounds like this
G|-7-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-7-7--|
