Coheed and Cambria – Searching For Tomorrow (Bass Tab)
Auto-scroll
Speed:

Most of the song toggles between the Bb(vi) and Gb(IV),
with the Ab(V) as a leading note on the last bar of most measures.
The runs in the 'instrumental' section are far easier than they may seem,
they are all ascending minor 3rds, creating a tritone motif.
Special thanks to user delboy199847 who's interactive tab for this song
was instrumental in creating this standard tuning arrangement.
Good luck landing the final chorus.
