Song: Snake Oil Tanker
Artist: Alkaline Trio
Album: Maybe I'll Catch Fire (Bonus Track)
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
I don't think this is the official way, but it means you don't
have to change the tuning on your guitar. I can't guarantee
it's right cos the guitar is really unclear on this song, but I
think this is more accurate than the other version.
