Whos Gonna Save Us Chords & Tabs
Tabbed by: El Doof
Email: el_doof@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard
Every part of the song is tabbed here in full. I have made sure nothing at all has been
even parts which I'm sure you don't even care about haha. I think I learned more from
this song than you probably will, by the end of it. Any tips or feedback is appreciated. So enjoy!

*When there's a hammer-on on an open string, don't use your pick, tap the frets with
fingertips. Think of the intro of Thunderstruck for reference.
We’re under powered now,
Trial devoured now,
Step aside make way for the new leader
And it’s getting late...
