Artist: Lagwagon
Song: Choke
Album: Double Plaidinum
Tabbed by: Bo
This song is played 1/2 step down: Eb-Ab-Db-gb-bb-eb
But actually nobody turn his guitar down, so fuck it and play it with standart
tuning.
You'll have to listen to the song several times to get the right timing for the
pre-chorus and chorus riffs. The rest's quite easy to play.
Enjoy it!!!
