The Compromise (Dog Problems)
by The Format
Tabbed by Andy Frey

I noticed that there was no complete tab for this song as it is on Dog Problems. And the intro and solo tab
on this sight has some serious problems, so I thought it would fix it. I don't have the riff at the end
figured our yet, but I'll edit it in once I do figure it out. Enjoy!
