Ready To Fall Chords & Tabs
SO, this is my version of Ready to Fall by Rise Against, rhythm and lead guitar.
It is all my own interpretation of the song. Verse 1 I copied almost directly
from version 2 but needed to change a few things. I needed to make a few changes
to all the other parts too, so im making this tab.
