-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Pete Griffin
 
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (1/2 step down)
 
This is just my interpretation of this new Theory of a Deadman song.
I've tabbed what i feel to be the most prominant parts, allowing one
guitarist to play along with the cd.  Have fun, and please rate and
comment if you liked it!!!.

I think it's a great tab, but tbh, I think you are trying a little too hard with the chords. The open chord shapes are all in verse with no power chords. But I think the power chords come in at the bridge. The solo, to me, is pretty spot on though. 4/5. Check the other 5 star tab for the chords and incorporate those here, and it would be perfect.
