The Ice is Getting Thiner - Death Cab For Cutie Tabbed by Bob Funk This is tabbed out for two guitars. If you want the bass to play, the notes are the bass notes of Gtr1. Gtr2 comes in later with some chord arpeggios which i tabbed out as well and wrote in the picking pattern. Lyrics are also lined up so you can sing ;) Enjoy Standard Tuning Intro: We're Gtr1 e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------1-------| G|-----2-----------------0--2--(2)-------------2------------0--2--0----------| D|--2-----2--(2)/4--------------------2-------2-----2--0-----------------------| A|--0---------------------------------3-------0------------------------3-------| E|-----------------------1-----------------------------3------1----------------| First Verse: not the same dear as we used to be.
