COUGH SYRUP - Young The Giant
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ben
Email: bentappe@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
In the song there are 2 guitars, but I tabbed it for only one. and without using a capo
on the Second fret. It seems to work pretty well playing it his way with one guitar
I know this isn't a 100% correct tab. So I would appreciate any corrections to make it Perfect.
i did not tab the intro all credit goes to:

Verse 2:
from 1:23 - 1:52 i like to repeat the intro finger-picking riff,
But in the Album version he plays chords, which don't technically start until the "these
zombies in the park" part.
chords used:
D G A

E|--10--|--3--|--5--|
D A
Life's too short to even care at all oh
G A
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
D
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
A
Woah oh oh oh
G A
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
"If I could find a way..." "I'd run away..."
