This River Is Wild - The Killers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ManBearPig41
Tuning: Half-step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
This is how I play it. I'm pretty sure that it's at least 97% correct. It's in half-step
so tune to Eb Standard if you plan on playing along with the song.
