DROWNING - Dashboard Confessional Tabbed by: HEMA (based on tab by Andrew Mcshan) E-mail: hema90@gmail.com Tuning: standard (eBGDAE) There is an excellent (as in perfect) tab of this song by Andrew Mcshan here on UG. However, as a rhythm guitarist I found it quite cumbersome to work with. This is a simplified version of what he wrote, but all credits go to him! Chords used: Csus4: x33010 Em7: 020000 Am7: x02010 G: 320022 D/F#: 200232 F: 133211 C: x32010 Em7 and Am7 are played for 1/2 a bar each, most other chords for a whole bar. Strumming pattern for the intro, verse and interlude: D UDU|D UDU|D UDU|D UDU| The chorus and outro are played with all downstrums [Intro] Csus4 Em7 Am7 (2x) [Verse 1]
