This is just a version of the song I've put up,
let me know if you have anything you'd rather change, but it's pretty much
open to interpretation. Cus it's a song. But yeah, this isn't the same key as the song,
just put a capo on it, otherwise its a pain. it may have a little strange fingering
at the distance between fingers, I know, but thats just how I play.
Beginning riff whatnot:
There are two ways I've played it with the 7th fret on the A(E) and then also
changing that for the lower octave to give it a little more bass, and I have both
to show you.
E-----3-----3---------------------|
B---0-----0-----0-1-----0-----0---|
G-------0-----0-----0-----0-------|
D---------------------0-----5---2-|
A-----------------3-----7-----5---|
E-3-------------------------------|
E-----3-----3---------------------|
B---0-----0-----0-1-----0-----0---|
G-------0-----0-----0-------------|
D---------------------0---5-----2-|
A-----------------3---------7-5---|
E-3---------------------0---------|
chorus whatnot:
The chords are in all likely different than what the song has, but I've done what I like
fit for an acoustic version to help fill up the space a little bit. I tend to just mute
notes that don't fit on the fuller c chord during the little instrumental part and also
the higher changing notes if that helps you any.

I havent really ever written a tab before, so the m means mute it, by the way. If you
any questions or need a tab for any other deathcab songs feel free to send me a note anytime.
