                            Hectic - Enter Shikari
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: ArcadianWarrior
Email: arcadian.soldier@gmail.com

Tuning: Drop C (DAFCGC)


After staying up all night and drinking a bunch of tea and sugar me and my cousin tabbed
this song. So I'm not taking full credit for this, because he
helped me to >.>
We tabbed this with the intention of the guitar having no breaks. Not all of these are
parts, but we wanted to make it to where your playing something
throughout the entire song. The first Chorus build up isn't in the studio
as far as I could hear, but I've heard it from the live version.

Update: Within the past 3 days I changed this quite a bit. One of the verse chords I put
their wrong. And I changed the outro to synth since I realized there really wasn't
in it. However, when I tabbed the outro, my guitar was in standard, so I hope it's 
I'm a bit sketchy on the synth part.


Enjoy!!!
