~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Paper Wings (Acoustic) Rise Against Siren Song of the Counter Culture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite bands. If you want to tune your guitar down for this, there is nothing wrong with that. Just know that you will be playing 2-and-a-half steps lower thtn those of us who have capos, And i'll tack that on there so you can play, too! This is meant to be played on an acoustic guitar and strummed with some sort of rythym. Okay, let us start! **Edit: 10-17-10; Fixed some timing problems and got rid of some extra chords* tuning: Standard (Capo on 3) OR Down one half step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) Chords:(relative to Capo) ~~~~E A D G B e Am: X 0 2 2 1 0 ~C: X 3 2 0 1 0 ~G: 3 2 0 0 0 3 ~F: 1 3 3 2 1 1 Chords: (tuned down: Eb) ~~~~E A D G B e Dm: X 0 0 2 3 1 ~F: 1 3 3 2 1 1 ~C: X 3 2 0 1 0 A#: X 1 3 3 3 1 (Capo'd version) Intro: C G Am F x3 Verse 1:
