Those Nights - Skillet
 
Tuning: Drop D
Level: Easy/Medium
Tabbed by: notgonnadie
 
This is a great song by Skillet, and one of the most popular on their record “Comatose”.
No one here had tabbed it perfectly (in my opinion, listening to the recording), so I decided to tab it
and post it here. Feel free to comment or correct this tab in the comment field below. Enjoy!
(The rhythm is not perfectly right; listen to the CD to get it right.)
 
*NOTE*: In this song, when the band plays it live, the verses has a keyboard part which the rhythm
guitarist plays. The rhythm guitar refers to the tone of guitar, not necessarily
that the rhythm guitarist plays it. Hope this clears confusion. Thanks
