Title: A Story About A Girl

This is a great emo song off 'Gravity'.

I think it oughta be their next single.

Key:

~~~ = Vibrato

(no.) = Natural harmonic

b(no.) = Bend note to match pitch of (no.)

r = release bent note to original pitch

h = Hammer on

p = Pull off

x = Fret Hand mute

Intro riff (Clean electric, let ring)

Guitar 2 (Dirty/distorted electric) plays the verse twice.

I'll update this tab for the rest of the song soon, cuz i'm not a good

lead guitar player, and this song has too many licks going in the background.

Also, there's a solo somewhere, so I'll need more time. But you can survive

with these parts for now!
