Birth of the Economic Hitman - Circa Survive Off of the album "Violent Waves" Most of this album is in D standard, this song does drop the low E string to a C. So: C G C F A D (Drop C) This is a long song, but in general pretty unchallenging. Definitely fun to play though, some cool chords. Any questions, feel free to message me or comment on the tab.
