    The Airborne Toxic Even...

This is my personal favorite song by my personal favorite band. I encourage you to buy 
their stuff.

Some other tabs have said capo on the 5th, I use it on the 4th. I'll leave it up to you 
which sounds better.

**********THIS IS A HUGE PART OF GETTING THIS TO SOUND RIGHT****************
For lack of a better term, I'll refer to this as C7, but I know it's not. Simply play a 
C, but lift your first finger. Whatever the hell it is, play it like this:
C7e|--0--| (x32310@1)B|--0--|
G|--0--|
D|--2--|
A|--3--|
E|--0--|

Together the verse line will be:
C C7 Am G

That being said, here it is:

End on C

That's about it. If it doesn't sound right, you're probably playing a real C7 instead of 
lifting your first finger. Hope this helped.
