                             Rise to the Sun - Alabama Shakes

Tuning: Standard

I got frustrated at the other, painfully inaccurate, tabs for this song, so here you go.
This is mainly a tab for the rhythm guitar in the song (played by Brittany), the solo 
and lead guitar for
the chorus are there but there's a lot more lead that's not been included, maybe I'll 
add it if I get
round to figuring it out sometime.
This isn't an exact note-for-note transcription, its more a rough idea of what is played 
in each different
part, in my opinion it sounds best just to take the basic chords and licks and mix them 
up in your own style.
Let me know if you have any corrections, and enjoy :)

Crescendo on a G major barre chord, then
