song: Richard Coury
artist: The Menzingers
album: A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology
tabbed by: fr3shb4ng

Hey folks,
I love this band and I love this song and its meaning. 
I think that the few tabs available aren't any good at all. 
I don't claim that my suggestion is 100% correct but definetely more fitting than 
the other versions you'll find. 
Other tabbers out there, no offense, I appreciate your work. ;)
Alright, so we go with standard tuning, strumming pattern is easy to figure
out, just play along with the album version. 
PS.: for the Em I like to play Em7, sounds nice as well...
