Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This tab mainly follows Matthew's parts. Tuning:DADGBe The song (intro, verse, chorus) is mainly just a D and G, played as bar chords with the root note on the 6th string,, as is always with kings. Caleb pretty much sticks to the D and G in standard tuning,, while Matthew is in dropped D im sure, which is what im tabbing here. INTRO

The solo gets a bit muddy here, its hard to work it out exactly, concentrate more on gettin a rythm out of ghost notes and scratches here rather than perfecting your fingering. Just improvise a bit in D minor pentatonic.
