My very first tab! Since theres a severe lack of Promise Ring tabs, especially from
their best album, ive decided to take it upon myself and tab out as many as I can.
the songs are bit harder to tab out than the usual punk type song due to the Lofi sound,
some of the notes hard to hear. The band's a huge fan of power chords and octaves, which
it easier. But enough of me, onto the tab!
Starts off with light pick scraping and feedback and then:
*Note: I cant tab the rhythm well, but its not that hard to figure out.*
Guitar 1 Intro

E--8----8------8-8-8-8------8-8-8-------8-8-8-(8)-------|
The second time instead of playing the C in the parenthesis, youll go straight to the E

G--------------------------------------------|
D--2---2----222-------5--555---555-----------|
A--2---2----222-------3--555---555-----------|
E--0---0----000-------3--333---333-----------|
and then back to verse. Play that 5 times in its entirety. 6th time around, theres the
break, so play the G (355xxx) once, and then go back to verse. Now play verse 4 times.
4th time around, instead of playing the E and G as you would do normally, strum
8th notes, like so (call this part 2):

A--22222222----55555555----------------------|
E--00000000----33333333----------------------|
Now comes the octave "solo" as ill call it. A bit hard to hear, but its there, listen
Guitar 1 plays the regular verse 3 times, the third time playing the E and G in 8th notes
done in part 2. Guitar two plays this the 2nd and 3rd time. Again, cant tab rhythm, not
hard to figure out. :

E--------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2 ends when Guitar 1 plays the E and G 8th notes. Now comes the last part of the
Again, its essentially the same, only with a second "solo" and a slightly different
at one part. Guitar 1, after playing the 8th notes, now plays the C chord in continuous
notes for about 4 measures, like such:
e--------------------------------------------|

A--1010101010101010--------------------------|
