The Head and the Heart – Down In The Valley (Guitar Tab)

I've been meaning to tab this song since i figured it out a few weeks ago. bought the album and have been listening like crazy so i just had to get this song down. i figured it was my duty to get it to the masses now. i tabbed this out mostly by ear and by watching their youtube videos. i feel like this is the most accurate way to play the song, granted it may be hard to get the timing right due to the tricky hammer-ons. nonetheless, i am going to tab it out for you all to enjoy!
