Capo: 4
This is an acoustic tab, based off the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gou-SB6xOA
This is not meant to be a perfect tab, but simply the chords, along with some of the common hammer-ons
to play around with. Thanks to xdayvancowboyx for chords to the album version. You can transpose his version
up 5, and put a capo on 4 to get the same chords here. I'm adding in a few extras you can play around with.
Dustin often plays a G as (3-2-0-0-1-0), so look out for this in other Thrice (or Dunstin Kensrue) songs.
I like muting the last string, and either playing 3-2-0-0-0-x, or 3-2-0-0-1-x.

Play the F as xx3210 or xx3211. F/C (x33210 or xx3211) works too.
While strumming the F, pull off your middle finger at the * for a couple strums, then hammer it back on:
