We have an official Rope tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
A couple of people requested tabs for this song on my youtube cover of this song so I'm
posting them up here.
This has definitely been the hardest song I've tabbed out. This is not an easy song
unless you take out all the fills.
The bassist has different fills for each chorus and it's really annoying lol.
I figured this out by ear and with the help of Rockband since they have the isolated bass track.
Everything is here pretty much correct except some of the fills but they're pretty close.
I didn't play it exactly this way in my cover but if you need to you can kind of use it
as a guide for these tabs. Anyways, enjoy!
