Tuning:Drop D
We play this song in drop D and it sounds right. Some of the strumming
patterns might be a little off but we did the best we could. You'll have to
listen to the song. Well you should always listen to a song before you read
the tab. This is our first tab so rate us and tell us how we did. Feel free
to point out mistakes
