----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Alex Barrera Email: [email protected] *NOTE*: I made this tab before i knew Bayside plays in D Standard. Sorry. *Update 6-11* Added lyrics over segments for easy reading. *Update 6-12* Added second chorus fill, and beginning of bridge. *Update 6-17* Added fills for bridge and main riff. *Update 7-10* Fixed Prechorus. This is a very basic tab, as you can tell, the fast bridge part and the fill in the hasnt been tabbed yet. I know Bayside does play in D Standard, but this is for anyone, like myself, who tends to keep their guitar in E Standard or Drop D. Tuning: Drop D Intro:

Transition into Bridge: Probably a feedback effect, but to badly replicate it:
Kind of a tremolo, this part is basically useless.
