You can take loads of liberties with this song, but here is the basic premise. Feel free
put in whatever dischordant bits you want, but this is what I do.
Also, we all know that Cursive tunes their guitars down a whole step, but you can easily
this song without doing so. This is written in standard EADGBE

The *'s mean play whatever ugly sounding thing you can and bend it. I normally play b|-6-- or b|-5--|- but you can really do whatever. g|-8^- g|-8^-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Now add horns, figure out what the hell Ted is playing as lead, and you've got yourself
good song. Email me at collectallfive@yahoo.com for any revisions or suggestions.
