This is my favorite song from the new album. SOTY is a great band from my good ol
of STL. Ive been goin to see them for the last 10 years now since they were Big Blue Monkey.
I kinda worked all this out after jammin with the song and realizing the other tabs were
and not totally right. Most of this sounds right to me, feel free to correct and
any ideas you have.
Tune down 1/2 step and then drop D

There it is I hope its close at least. Theres alot going on during the chorus lead ins
some kind of synthesized sounds. The 2nd bridge riff maybe a little rough sounding but
I said, correct it if you have any better ideas. Thanks!
