Pleads And Postcards Chords & Tabs

Pleads and Postcards by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: me, of course.
Email: cjmeserole@yahoo.com
Tuning: drop C (just like EVERY SINGLE OTHER RJA SONG...) i'm not changing ALL the
on the side of the strings, so just use your brain.
i didn't tab out all the lead cause it's hard to hear. I'll (hopefully) get it all
out eventually, but i wanted to get what i had up so people can play it now.
