Hey Mayday fans! One of my favorite songs off the new album Monsters in the Closet. Hopefully it's 100% accurate! This is just how I play it. I have not included strumming patterns in some places. They should be easy enough to figure out. I also have not included all of Alex's lead guitar parts. Sorry! Also, check out my cover of it! Dropped D tuning: 6/8
