Drunken Birds, by Cursive Tabbed By: Ryan Sartor e-mail: kile_nites@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard, though I believe it was originally played on a bass tuned a whole step down. Regardless, this tab will let you play perfectly in tune with the track. Original Bassist: Matt Maginn Each dash or number is 1 eighth note. I have it tabbed so that the whole song is played on the first six frets. If you think I've done something wrong, send me an email.
