Mother Superior
Coheed And Cambria
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume 2: No World For Tomorrow

Tabbed By : fender4string
Tuning: Standard

I saw this tab had been requested and, since it's such an awesome song, I
decided to go ahead and try and tab it out.  The tab is probably about 95%
accurate with the only issues being not getting the fills 100% perfect in
the bridge and the outro though what I heard/tabbed is very close to what
the great Mr. Todd played on the album.  Anyway, enjoy the song and please
rate!

Thanks!
