THIRD ENGINE (ACOUSTIC) As performed by Chris Conley of Saves the Day Tabbed by ssjEasterBunny Standard tuning INTRO Each measure is the same duration of time. The first two appear longer because I had to fit the double-digit fret numbers. Also, Chris doesn't always play all of the below. Sometimes he skips the first two measures, and sometimes he keeps those but skips the repetition of the last two. And it's played pretty fast.

Strum most of the strings (changing it each time), so the chords sound varied from strum to strum.

When the chorus repeats the second time around ("Trying to touch your knees, yeah..."), switch this so that the highest strings are emphasized. There's really a second guitar playing a higher part, but this is a way to emulate that sound with a single guitar.
