Artist: Plain White T's Song: Broken Record Album: Wonders of the Younger (2010) Great album, along with all other Plain White T's albums, in my opinion. I really love the second half of this CD (i.e. "Last Breath," "Broken Record," "Our Song.") I plan to tab the others out soon as well, but for now here's "Broken Record." (All guitars--standard EADGBE tuning) Intro: Gtr. 1: (Strum up on the first chord and the top note is optional) E--8~----------------------x-8-----------------------------------------------| B--8~----------------------x-8-----------------------------------------------| G--8~----------------------x-8-----------------------------------------------| D--10~------------------------------------------------5-----------------5----| A----------------------------------------10\3---3--6----6--3---3--3--6----6--| E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gtr 1 (cont'd.): E----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A---------3--6--3------------5--8--------------------------------------------| E--4---4----------4---6---6-------6------------------------------------------| Verse: It was summer love, she was like a drug, fit me like a glove, everything was all right.

I would probably use sort of a light distortion throughout the song, however I tabbed this using an acoustic. On the second chord of the song, it sounds like Tim uses a volume pedal or a really long delay, so you can work with that if you have a pedal. If you have corrections, please comment.
