“Blessed by a Nightmare” By Autopilot Off
From the Album “Make a Sound”
Copyright 2004

Tuning: Drop D DADGBE
Tabbed By: c0nf1n3d

WARNING: You might need to put Fast Fret on your guitar before playing this song. The chords move fast, and your fingers will need to as well.

I’m not sure if this is a good tab…no one bothered to put up a Blessed by a Nightmare Tab, so here you go. This was all by ear, and it’s my first tab.

			 Fadeout)

As I said, not the best tab out there…but I bet it can be improved.

The next tab coming is: Cicada’s Song.

Then, bass parts for both of these songs.
