Crown of Thorns For Today Transcribed by Colton Wood I basically tried to put this together as fast as humanly possible, so don?t expect everything to look all fancy like usual. But of course, I promise that the notation is spot on! FYI, For Today, doesn't use a Verse, Chorus, structure, but I will use Verse, Chorus, etc. to label the sections, for the readers sake. You can also use this cover as a reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytqM88nYihI Tuning: Drop B (B, F#, B, E, G#, C#) 3/4 times, about 110 BPM.
