How The Beautiful Decay Tab by Darkest Hour


Darkest Hour - How the beautiful decay
Tabbed - Michael Cornwell


I'm tired of not having darkest hour tabs out there and since I know at least half
of their songs i'll make some of my own to help spark others to tab some of the ones
i don't know, or the parts.

b=bend
h=hammer
p=pulloff
.=palm mute
/=slide
T=Tap
#.= Staccato notes
~ = vibrato
X = Dead note

There are alot of small things going on here
with them arppegiating chords if you listen closely, but this is basically how it goes

F|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
C|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------| 
C|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--|

Guitar 2
