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.
