When Were Old Men  (guitar tab)

Yellowcard - When We're Old Men



I'm not too sure if this is a regional extra on some Lights and Sounds CDS but you can

it on iTunes as I did. I'm pretty sure that all of the tab with the exception of Part 4

100%. The chords played sound different each time I listen so I just went for a basic 

which you can change if you find something you think sounds better. Entirely up to

guitarist!



I'll put the sections and then type the order in which they go.



Enjoy! =)

Part 3 - Bridge



Violins play in the background here but I didn't bother to tab them for



guitar, again entirely optional if you want a second guitarist to play



the notes the violin does.

Part 4 - Outro



It's basically alternate picking of the E5, D5, C#5, B5 and A5 chords



with the e and b strings also strummed from what I can tell (Don't trust



me for the names of the chords by the way)

The way I've played the D5 here (x59700) is just the way I like to play



that chord, it can just as easily be replaced by (x57700)

You'll get the hang of it the more you play it, I'm not 100% sure about



this part yet so any comments would be appreciated.
