The Front Bottoms: "Maps" Slow Dancing to Soft Rock EP video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbT6qUpROnI Questions: mswojnow@gmail.com Tabbed by: arunawayslave / Max This song is pretty straight forward, fun to sing and easy to play. In the music video he's using a pick but it's pretty easy to finger pick. Listen to the song to get the rhythm.
