Tuning: E A D G B E
Submitted by cyberwookie 08-31-2019 This song is relatively simple, based around a couple of Em riffs. I've tabbed out the 2 main riffs for the rhythm guitar and indicated where they should be used. Overall, the song is pretty loose and you can put some variation around the riffs and it will sound just fine.
