Motley Crue - If I Die Tomorrow
The Crue Is Back!!
Dropped d tuning - Everybody's guitar is gonna be tuned differently, so if you want to
play along with the song, tune your higher D string to the 3rd fret note in the
intro...its a nice clear note to tune to. Then you can tune the rest of your strings
from there. Overall its a pretty simple song, sounds cool, and fun to play. Im not too
sure about the pre-choruses, and I left out the short solo in the ending chorus because
its friggen impossible to hear all the notes.

I wake up to find myself, after all these years
And where all the time has gone, still seems so unclear

It brings out the worst in me, when you're not around
I miss the sound of your voice, the silence seems so loud
