----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT LOOKS RED, TASTES BLUE - Mayday Parade ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Lucas Goldson (standbysunset on YouTube) Guitar 1 - Brooks Betts Guitar 2 - Alex Garcia CAPO 3. TAB IS RELATIVE TO CAPO. FOR EXAMPLE FRET 4 IS NOW FRET 1 BECAUSE CAPO IS ON 3RD FRET. (Only way to play this in Drop D is with a capo on the high e to high D strings because of the opening guitar part. Otherwise this can be played in Drop C no capo but it would be tabbed differently if played in this tuning)
