We have an official Byob tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This song kicks max. ass this tab isn¡¦t copied from anywhere it¡¦s what I reckon sounds
I¡¦m new to writing tabs so ¡V comments welcome. If you get the timing and tempo right
hav no probs.
 
Some ppl post the tuning as Drop C (normal system tuning) or D, but im convinced at
for this song, its Drop Db. They¡¦re other single from their twin albums Cigaro seems to be
same tuning.
 
Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb.

i liked the other tab batter. it didnt have ***ed up little symbols everywhere. and you are missing notes like crazy. so i gave you a 2.

S'wierd, i can imagine him doing it drop C live so he doesnt hav 2 change gitrs n stuff, but tryin to play to the track in C is alotta work (especially the single string riffs...) Daron may have played in C and changed the pitch when mastering it in the studio or somethin though. dont know why im worrying really, s'quite sad - there isnt a better one on this site yet.
