			  Alexisonfire- Rough Hands (Acoustic Version)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Bryn a.k.a Stud Muffin
Email: Bryn_bass@hotmail.co.uk

Tuning: Original is in Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb, but it sounds fine in E, A, D, G, B, E

This is NOT an official tab, just something i worked out in music class, whilst messing 
with a classical piece,
i thought of this song, and thought it would be a great idea to play it acoustic.
perfect for solo playing/maybe singing (though George's parts sang clean obviously, haha)

But it took me ages to tab out, don't be too harsh, ;)

Enjoy!

(break between the pre chorus and chorus, just strum B6, then , maybe a percussive 
to signal Jordan's intro drum beat to the chorus)

Chorus
Em (022000@1)     G6 (320000@1)          C6All (03221x@1)my bones are dust,
                         B6(Two (02110x@1)people too damaged too much too late)
Em (022000@1)       G6 (320000@1)                       C6and (03221x@1)my heart's sealed with rust.
                          B6(Two (02110x@1)people too damaged too much too late)
Em (022000@1)                   G6These (320000@1)hands will always be rough.
C6 (03221x@1)                   B6(Two (02110x@1)people too damaged too much too late)
Em (022000@1)           G6 (320000@1)                     C6I (03221x@1)know this won't count for much.
                          B6(Two (02110x@1)people too damaged too much too late)


just carry on in the same vein as this, just listen to the song and work out a structure.

any feedback is welcome, enjoy :D
