This is probably my favorite song off of Tom Gabel's, the lead singer of
Against Me!, solo album. It's catchy and yet so simple. Even though I found
it next to impossible to sing and play at the same time. But, maybe that's 
just me. If you have any problems with the strumming, please listen to the 
song first and try playing along. I believe it's %100 spot on. But for some
reason, I still have my own doubts about some of the chords. When you've
made your final judgement on the tab, please rate and comment on what you 
honestly think.

And that should be that for Harsh Realms by Tom Gabel. I do apologize if 
some of the chords don't sync up exactly with the lyrics. What else could I 
say about that. I tried. As I've stated before, please rate and comment my
