Song: Drones
Artist: Rise Against
Album: The Sufferer & The Witness
This is the fastest, most complex and hardest song to tab on the whole album. There is
specific to mention though, except for the fact that the opening Eb note is held from the
song, Prayer Of The Refugee. The interlude is quite long (42 bars) but you should be
to follow; I have made it as easy as possible. The notes are, as always, arranged
to the timing of the song. Use the font Courier New, size 9, to print this tab in order
group lines of tab together. Enjoy!
