Author/Artist: Hoobastank Title: Crawling in the dark Transcribed by: Jimmy Cafarella Email: jcafarella@hotmail.com Okay,so your guitar is actually supposed to be tuned to an open E for this song. Well if you are like me, you don't really wanna mess with such a weird tuning just to play one song, so I listened to the song and wondered why they bothered to tune weird when it's just as easy to play it like this: INTRO with phaser(I think) (or maybe a flange?) --|------------------------------------| --|------------------------------------| --|------------------------------------|

matches up.(that's what I always do before tackling a new song) Email me with any questions ,complaints ,secrets of the universe ,etc. at jcafarella@hotmail.com
