This is my 1st tab go easy.There is a distinct lack of Swellers tabs so finally started
tabbing! I think most of it is correct, there are some lead guitar variations that i
have not put in. The tuning is definitely right as i asked Nick Diener himself!
Anyway its a great song of the album ups and downsizing, check it out its awesome.
Tuning:half step down
