Thursday – Dotted Line tab

Band: Thursday
Song: The Dotted Line
Album: Waiting

This is a great song by a great band, I am surprised there's no tab for it yet.
Hope this helps you play it. Both guitars are in Drop D.. though it doesn't really
matter because you don't use the low D string at all.

Enjoy.
