------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEAR AND LOATHING IN MAHWAH, NJ - Titus Andronicus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard This isn't 100% and it mainly only covers Patrick's guitar part, but there are so few Titus Andronicus tabs out there I thought I'd give it a shot. This song's in F, and Patrick plays it with a capo on 5, but the other guys just play it in F without the capo. I'll write the chords relative, but for reference if you want to play this open, "C" = F, "Am" = Dm, "F" = Bb, "G" = C.
