The High Road - Tab Tuning: Standard Note: I know this is really basic and isn't exactly like the song, but I think it's the best way to play it in standard tuning. I know the F# power chord before the end of the first and second verses is higher than it is in the song, and that's just because it's not in dropped B tuning like the song is actually played in. I think it still sounds nice however. [Verse 1] I told you I was hurt... bleeding on the inside...
