Taking Back Sunday - Great romances of the 20th century

Song title: Great Romances of the 20th Century Band: Taking Back Sunday Album: Tell All Your Friends Tabbed By: Matt Ok i found a couple of tabs of this elsewhere but at best they only had the rhythm guitar parts so i decided to do both parts. Guitar 1 is Eds parts and Guitar 2 is Johns parts. TBS are prob the best new band at the moment, so if you havent already got the album please go and buy it. Because of the song structure some of the names of the parts may seem strange but ive included a song structure at the end to simplify it. Ive also put the times of each part to make it easier to read. This is the first single off the album and is one of the best songs, cool video as well.
