Tuning: half step down
sorry, im terrible at transcribing strum patterns, youll have to listen to the song to
it out yourself. This is the first song Rise Against ever played a half step down,
it was the first song Todd Mohney wrote for the band.
Here's a video of me playing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAPqAF9VW04&feature=related
I made all the hammer ons and pulloffs a / instead of h and p just because it was easier
write. I figured you guys are playing guitar, so you probably have the mental
to figure something like that out.

After the second time through the intro, play this, and let it ring. This is the point
there's a cool bass riff.

Lyrics during solo:
It seems the whole world's turned on me
(bound and gagged) in the land of the free
let's talk this over! this game is over!
in with the new, out with the old
hearts of the world have grown so cold
this game is over! LET'S TALK THIS over!
Hope you enjoyed my tab as much as I enjoyed writing it.
