Tabbed by Jess/Abongachong
Tune to Eb Ab Db Gb
This song is a b-side from the Decemberunderground sessions but will be released on
editions of the album Crash Love.
Some part of the tab are kind of confusing, I did a cover of the song so feel free to
Also I'm quite sure that the first part of the bridge is wrong, if anyone can help me
with corrections there it'd be muchos appreciated :)
In the recording, there's no bass til 0:58 but sitting around waiting to come in is
boring so I made up a basic verse riff. Just go watch the video mentioned above to check out
it should sound.
h - hammer on
/ - slide
> - strum
. - staccato
