Words and music by: Tait, http://www.myspace.com/michaeltait

Tabbed by: Jakob D. Siegler, http://www.myspace.com/jakobsiegler

hint:

ACOUSTIG GUITAR plays these chords with empty strings.

You can use a capo on first fret while playing

the given chords as if you play Em, C, G, D.

Remember: These are the same chords as Fm, Db, Ab, Eb.

I will tab the song in standard tuning without capo,

because not everyone has such a tool.

INTRO:

Fm, Db, Ab, Eb,

Fm, Db, Ab, Eb
