Song: Billy Talent – This is How it Goes
Album: Billy Talent
Date: September 18, 2003
Written by: Luka Vuk, eccofuture@hotmail.com
 
This song is in drop d tuning. It took me about 2 hours to figure this one out
100%. It sounds exactly like the song. This is not the album version. This is a
tab of the demo which is much better than the overproduced album version with its
cool jazzy verses. Anyway, enjoy!

wow zuka you've obviously never heard the demo version. which is way better than the cd version i must say.

Great tab dude, n e way: one mistake if ound. e|---------------8-0----------------------------| B|------6-0------6-0------5-0-------------------| G|------6-0------6-0------5-0-------------------| D|-00-0-4-0-88-8-4-0-33-3-3-0-------------------| A|-00-0-4-0-88-8-----33-3-3-0--88888888---------| D|-00-0-----88-8-----33-3------88888888---------| should be 7 insted of 8 at the end...otherwise almost perfect dude

I don't mean to be mean or something, but the chorus is off, the top part should be played with a ten --10-- then a triple ten --10-- --10-- --10-- --10-- and the bridge is a little okay, keep though
