Title: No Sunlight
Artist: Death Cab for Cutie
Album: Narrow Stairs

Tabbed by: Josh Tiesma (nophilip@gmail.com)

Tuning: EADGBE

This is a very fun song to play from Death Cab's new album (which is awesome). It sounds
cheery when you first hear it, but when you actually listen to the lyrics, it's kind of
Anyways, there's no other tabs for this song out there online. I'm sure this is 99.9% 
with the exception of the section I have marked "possibly not correct".
