---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Know Why - Saves the Day ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed By: Josh Wysocki Tuning: Chris Conley plays this song in Eb with a capo on the 3rd fret, but placing the capo on the 2nd fret in Standard Tuning works just as well. Notes: This is the way Chris Conley plays this song on acoustic guitar. Some chords may not be exact, but this tab is as accurate as I can make it. This is one of my favorite Saves the Day songs and I couldn't find an accurate tab anywhere. The notes in this tab do NOT correspond to the actual fret on a guitar,but the number of frets away from the capo!!! Enjoy! Intro: E|----------0-----0---|----------0-----0-| *The first note on the album B|------7-----7-----7-|------7-----7-----| version of this song is the G|----6---6-----6-----|--------6-----6---| 12 harmonic on the D string.
