----------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: You’ll Always Be My Best Friend Artist: Relient K Album: The Bird and the Bee Sides ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert Email: [email protected] Notes: Good song, though short, it’s fun to do. I arranged it for one acoustic, so if have a bass player, neglect all “passing tones.” THIS CAN BE PLAYED IN THE Eb STANDARD I’m lazy. They’ll be notated as if no capo is present. Tuning: Standard w/ CAPO 2nd
Intro: Listen for rhythm. It’s like a country two-step feel, so hit the bass notes on
own, then stress the higher strings on the strumming. This is especially important on the
tones, like the E/F# and the A2/B.

       There's only  time, to live our lives. You’ll be the one that’s…
*The F#/G# isn’t critical, it’s a quick switch anyways, so you could just play the G#
on its own, then head to the A2 to simplify it.

…by my side. & I can promise you, that you'll…be my best friend.

Bridge?: (O:53) Fuller strumming, don’t worry about hitting bass notes like before, just
the rhythm right.

Outro: Don’t necessarily try to follow along with the words, since there’s echoing; just
for the chord changes and they’ll be right.
