Tabbed By Austin (A Dead Fly)
August 7, 2010
In this song there are 5 instruments I have listed, the violin/viola has been
transcribed for guitar.
The Rythym Guitar plays the whole song and uses nylon strings and full chords.
The violin/viola plays whenever the lead guitar is not and vise versa.
The Steel string acoustic Guitar plays 2 chords one octave up from the rythym
guitar at certain parts.
The quiet background guitar plays very shortly towards the end and is barely audible.
Song is written in 4/4
I will split the song into seven different sections

Thats the tab, pretty sure I got all the fills pretty close, the violin ones
were a little hard to hear in some parts.
