FOREST WHITAKER – Bad Books
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: thenerdywolfe

I tabbed this from their live performance here: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=TujZ_VrfSpw&feature=related). It allows you to hear everything clearer… I did
not include every part of the song because everything tabbed is just repeated for
the other verses, bridge, etc. The strumming and muting can be done in any form
you want (not exactly how I tabbed). E-mail me if there’s any problems, enjoy!
